The purpose of this research was to investigate how the plyometric training and weight training program, applied in the field for exercise performance of throwing players, influenced improvement of athletic abilities, including agility, maximum muscular power, and strength. After implementing plyometric training and weight training to 21 high school throwing players for 10 weeks, we designed the next step. The 21 subjects were divided into two groups - women’s group and men’s group. All subjects were tested to determine agility using sidestep, burpee test, reaction time, lower body power and strength using standing long jump, standing jump, 30 m running, squats and leg presses. Additionally, isokinetic strength was measured using Cybex isokinetic dynamometer. The results showed that both groups demonstrated improvement in the standing long jump, standing jump and 30 m running after training. Particularly, the women’s group indicated better improvement. Second, women’s groups showed higher improvement in the sidestep and burpee test. However, in the reaction time test, the men’s group indicated better improvement. Third, both groups showed better improvement in squats and leg presses after training. Particularly, the women’s group indicated better improvement. Fourth, in the left and right side extension torque and flexion torque at a velocity of 60°/sec, both groups showed better improvement after training. In the left side extension peak torque, the men’s group showed higher improvement, but the women’s group showed higher improvement in the left side flexion and extension peak torque. Fifth, both groups showed better improvement in bench pressing and back strength after training. Particularly, the women’s group indicated higher improvement.
