The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness) training on stride frequency among jumpers. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty men jumpers were selected from Alagappa University, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India during the year 2022. The subject’s age ranges from 18 to 25 years. The selected subjects were randomly divided into two equal groups consists of 15 men jumpers each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent a SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness) Training programme for eight weeks. The control group was not taking part in any training during the course of the study. Stride frequency was taken as criterion variable in this study. The selected subjects were tested on Stride frequency was measured through 50 mts run test. Pre-test was taken before the training period and post- test was measured immediately after the six week training period. Statistical technique ‘t’ ratio was used to analyse the means of the pre-test and post test data of experimental group and control group. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found on the criterion variable. The difference is found due to SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness) Training given to the experimental group on Stride frequency when compared to control group.
