This study aims to ascertain the impact of plyometric training on a number of kinetic variables of female second-year students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, as well as the statistical significance of variations in a number of kinetic variables between the experimental and control groups in the post-test. Second-year female students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Kufa's Faculty of Education for Women were purposefully chosen to make up the research community. A sample of 40 students was randomly selected from this community of 43 students. The sample was divided into two groups of 20 students each, an experimental group and a control group, by lottery. The initial group came next the usual lecture program, while the second group followed the training program using plyometric exercises. Three students were selected from the research community for a pilot study. Homogeneity was established between the age ranges of the two group’s height, and body mass. Equivalence was also established in some kinetic variables such as starting speed, high jump, forward jump, and performance. The researcher relied on various sources, tests, and measurements as tools and instruments. Essential for gathering information to achieve the research objectives, the program consisted of (6) training units for the experimental group over (3) weeks, just a single training session every week. The length of every training session ranged from (30-45) minutes. The experimental group began implementing the training program from February 18, 2025, to March 11, 2025, with one (1) training unit per week on (Mondays). Based on the study conducted by the researcher, the following conclusions were reached: A significant improvement appeared in all the kinetic variables under investigation as a result of using plyometric exercises, and this was demonstrated positively by the experimental group's post-test results, the kinetic variables of the second-year students in the experimental and control groups differed statistically significantly.
