%X The objective of this inquiry was to know the impact of pooled soccer, plyometric, and sprint drill on speed and agility among underweight males. 26 underweight male subjects were chosen with a BMI (kg/m2) of less than 18.5. The ages of the subjects ranged from 18-22 years. The physical fitness tests administered before and after the training program was 20m sprint, 40m sprint, and agility. The training plan was engaged for six weeks, 45M per exercise phase, two days per week. The combined workout regime was given as per the schedule, plyometric training combined with sprints for 25 minutes followed by a soccer game for 20 minutes. To compare pre-and post-test, a statistical paired t-test was utilized for all the selected variables. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 16. The outcome of the current study indicated that the participants had enhanced significantly when prior testing was equated with later testing in 20m, 40m, and agility by (3.41 ± 0.18 vs. 3.18 ± 0.25 Sec; P < 0.001), by 4% (6.20 ± 0.46 vs. 5.93 ± 0.36 Sec; P < 0.001), and by 3.8% (18.10 ± 0.82 vs. 17.36 ± 0.74 Sec; P < 0.001) respectively. It was established that the impact of pooled soccer, plyometric, and sprint drill for underweight participants had shown significant performance in all the chosen fitness components from earlier to later tests, which was very promising and noteworthy.
