Research Purpose. Speed ability is an important determinant of a soccer player's competitive performance in a game, and it also affects the athlete's sports life and upper limit of competitive level. Power is the core of the soccer player physical ability construction and its influence on the speed of permeate, confrontation, technology, endurance and injury prevention and so on each linThe main objective was to investigate physiological adaptations induced by HIIRS on soccer-specific speed and power qualities of soccer players.Method. Twenty-five elite soccer players underwent a 12-week jump rope training program (three 45-minute sessions weekly). Participants were randomly assigned to an EG (n=13) performing high-intensity intermittent rope skipping (75-85% HRmax with active intervals at 40-70% HRmax) and a CG (n=12) maintaining conventional training (75 -85% HRmax), both monitored via heart rate bands. Pre and post-intervention assessments included: sprint speed (30-m sprint), reaction speed (Optojump 5-s rapid frequency test), visual reaction speed (Optojump visual test), change-of-direction speed (T-test), and explosive power (standing long jump). Data were analyzed via paired samples T-tests. Research Results. Research Results. The results of the study found that both high-intensity interval rope skipping (HIIRS) training and traditional training significantly improved sprint
