Objective of the study was to evaluation of the effectiveness of plyometric training for the development of explosive strength in boxers from amateur sports clubs in Jordan.
Methods and structure of the study. A pedagogical experiment involving 40 Jordanian amateur boxers was conducted to evaluate the effects of a training program using a plyometric method on explosive power performance.
Results and conclusions. As a result of the pedagogical experiment conducted over two months, the increase in punch force of boxers was 25%, the increase in punch speed was 12%, the explosive power of arms and legs increased by 18 and 15%, respectively. The obtained data indicate a positive effect of plyometric training on the complex of explosive power indicators of boxers, as well as the need to include plyometric training in athletes' training programs to improve their competitiveness and achieve high sports results.

Keywords: boxing, physical training, amateur boxers, plyometric training, explosive power, amateur sports clubs.
