The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of elastic resistance agility training program designed to improve change of direction speed, speed, and reactive agility. Forty-eight healthy males actively play soccer and had at least five years experience participated in the study (Height: 177,04± 5,06 cm; Weight: 71,75 ± 8.88 kg; Training Age: 9,83 ± 3,23 years; Age: 21 ± 1,84 Years). After the pre-test Participants split into groups of Elastic Resisted Agility Group-(ERAG) (n=14), Agility Group (AG) (n=12), Control Group (CG) (n=22). Two experimental groups, both ERAG and AG, participated in training biweekly for six weeks. CG only continued their routine soccer training without any strength and conditioning activity. Pre-test, mid-test (after three weeks), and post-test (after six weeks) were taken on selected days on change of direction (COD), 15m sprint, and reactive agility (RA). Due to the nonparametric distribution of the groups, the Friedman test used to analyze the effect of training interventions on dependent variables (3rd and sixth weeks). Differences between measurements analyzed with the Wilcoxon Post Hoc test. Between groups (CG, ERAG, AG), Kruskal-Wallis analysis used to assess the effects of the training interventions on dependent variables. There was no significant difference in performance measurements of groups in the pre-test (p> 0.05); however, after mid-test and post-test, there was a significant difference between groups (p
