This study aims to look at the effect of plyometric training to increase the explosive power of leg muscles of youth athletes in the martial arts field of West Sumatra PPLP Pencak Silat Athletes in 2019. This study used the one-group pretest-posttest design method, with the subjects comprising 20 youth athletes in Pencak silat PPLP West Sumatra in 2019. The research instrument was a test of leg muscle explosive power, using the standing board jump test conducted before and after being given plyometric training. Explosive power test results data were analyzed through a t-test (paired sample test) using the application SPSS. 16. The results showed the t value is 11.314 with sig 0.000 <0.05, so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.
