Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between explosive leg strength, speed and agility. The subjects selected for this study were male students who were doing their bachelor’s in physical education at different affiliated physical education colleges of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad Maharashtra. The age of the selected subjects for this study ranged between 21 to 24 years.Standing broad jump, 50 yard dash and 4×10 yard shuttle run tests were applied to measure between explosive leg strength, speed and agility respectively. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation was applied to check the results. The results displayed that there was no significant relation between explosive leg strength, speed and agility among male students of physical education colleges. The significant value was set at 0.05.
