Introduction: Reaction speed and maximum speed are two fundamental components in influencing the performance of athletes in athletics, especially in the 100-meter sprint. However, until now, effective training models in increasing reaction speed and maximum speed have not been explored to the fullest.
Objective: This study aims to prove the effect of Cone Drill training on reaction speed and maximum speed in 100-meter sprint athletes.
Methodology: This study involved a total of 16 youth sprinter athletes who were participants aged 15–17 years and were given an intervention of Cone Drill training for 6 weeks. Data collection was carried out by measuring 30-m sprint test, while reaction speed using whole body reaction audio and visual carried out before and after the intervention. The parametric paired sample t-test was applied to test the difference in data in each group, while the independent sample t-test was applied to test the difference in data between groups with a significant level of 5%.
Results: The results showed significantly higher 30-meter sprint test and reaction speed between before and after exercise for 6 weeks (p ≤ 0.001). In addition, we also observed an increase in 30-meter sprint test and reaction speed between groups (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusions: These findings prove that the Cone Drill training has a positive impact on increasing reaction speed and 30-meter sprint test, making it one of the training methods that should be considered in the preparation and implementation of the 100-meter sprint athlete training program.
