The Study Purpose: This study purpose was determined: (1) the difference in the effect of plyometric training and complex training on sprint ability, (2) the difference in sprint ability between players with long legs and short legs, (3) the effect of the interaction between training method and leg length on sprint ability. Material and Method: This study used an experimental method with a 2 x 2 factorial design. The 40 players aged 21.80 ± 2.71 years, height 174.53 ± 6.21 cm, weight = 76.10 ± 5.78 kg participated in this study, grouped into groups based on leg length. Each sample underwent a sprint test measured with a 20m sprint test. Data analysing used two-way ANOVA with a significance level of 5%. Conclusions: The research results shown that: (1) there is a significant difference in the effect of plyometric training and complex training in improving sprint results. The complex training is better than plyometric training in improving sprint results, (2) there is a significant difference in the effect of long legs and short legs on sprint ability. The players with long legs is better than short legs in sprint results, (3) there is a significant interaction between training methods and leg length on sprint ability. Players who have long legs are suited for complex training. Players who have short legs are suited for plyometric training
