The instrument of this study used a shutle run test. The analysis technique uses the t-test. Based on the t-test analysis produces Tcount of 2.681 and ttable 2.015. Means that Tcount > Ttable. It can be concluded that Ho is rejected, at the level of alpha (α) 0.05. so it can be summed “there is an effect of footwork two steps on the agility of the male table tennis athletes at Riau Province Sports High School. Based on the results obtained it is known that using footwork two-step exercise can improve agility, although statistically it shows a relatively small effect.
