The modern tennis games is characterized by an emphasis on quickness and strength. Rapid and multidirectional changes in the ball’s speed necessitate a high level of agility. This study aimed to determine the impact of hexagon drill training on the agility of male junior tennis players. This research is a quantitative type with experimental methods. The research design uses a one group pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study were junior male tennis players in Jawa Tengah with the sampling technique using purposive sampling. The characteristics of the sample determined by the researcher were male, athletes under 18 years of age, and practicing in the Jawa Tengah area. The number of samples used in the study was 40 people. Data analysis used the t-test by first carrying out the normality test and homogeneity test. The results of the data normality test in this study were 0.06 0.05 (0.06 greater than 0.05), which means that the data is normally distributed in the population frequency. The results of the homogeneity test in this study were 0.15 0.05 (0.15 greater than 0.05), which means the data is homogeneous. After the data is normally distributed and homogeneous, the researcher continues data processing, namely the t-test. The results of the t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 so it was less than 0.05 or 0.000 0.05 so there was a significant effect. The conclusion is that the hexagon drill exercise has an effect on increasing agility in junior men's tennis players in Central Java. Suggestions from researchers are that coaches can apply hexagon drill exercises to train junior tennis players under the age of 18 years.

Physical condition is a crucial factor in enhancing athlete performance. Athletes with good physical condition have a greater chance of reaching peak performance. This research aims to analyze the dominant physical condition factors of petanque athletes in Central Java. The research utilized tests and measurements on a sample of 58 athletes and employed confirmatory analysis techniques. The results indicate that seven factors influence petanque skills. Body height has a correlation value of 1.352 with a significance value of 0.000. Arm length has a correlation value of -0.641 with a significance value of 0.015. Palm length has a correlation value of -0.573 with a significance value of 0.002. Arm muscle strength has a correlation value of 0.041 with a significance value of 0.000. Hand-eye coordination has a correlation value of 3.017 with a significance value of 0.000. Grip strength has a correlation value of -0.233 with a significance value of 0.008. Static balance has a correlation value of 0.359 with a significance value of 0.000. However, two factors do not significantly influence the playing skills of petanque athletes in Central Java: trunk flexibility, which has a correlation value of -0.15 with a significance value of 0.159, and endurance, with a correlation value of 0.085 and a significance value of 0.359. In conclusion, the main physical condition factors in petanque include body height, arm length, palm length, arm muscle strength, hand-eye coordination, grip strength, and static balance. The novelty of this research lies in its potential use by coaches as a reference for providing appropriate training to improve the physical condition of petanque athletes. This study is limited to petanque athletes in Central Java. Keywords: athletes, petanque, physical condition.
