The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plyometric training on balance, joint position sense, and explosive strength in young taekwondo athletes. A total of 20 taekwondo athletes aged between 15 and 18 years from Konya province voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 10 athletes (5 female, 5 male) and a control group consisting of 10 athletes (5 female, 5 male). In addition to regular taekwondo training, the experimental group performed a plyometric training program three days per week for eight weeks, whereas the control group continued only their regular taekwondo training. Paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests were used for group comparisons.
