The ability to perform an effective jump shoot requires coordination of movement, balance, and especially support from the player's physical abilities, such as leg muscle explosiveness. This study aims to determine the role of leg muscle explosiveness with jump shoot ability in adolescent basketball players. This study uses a descriptive method with a correlational approach. The population in this study was a youth basketball team consisting of 25 people, and the entire population was sampled using the total sampling technique. The data collection instruments used were a vertical jump test to measure leg muscle explosiveness and a jump shoot test to measure the ability to perform jump shots. Data analysis was carried out by correlation testing using the SPSS version 26 application. The results of the analysis were 0.61, there was a significant relationship, meaning that the higher a player's leg muscle explosiveness, the better his jump shoot ability. These results indicate that leg muscle explosiveness has a fairly large and significant role in jump shoot ability. This study shows that leg muscle explosiveness plays an important role in improving jump shoot performance in adolescent basketball players. This means that physical ability, especially explosive leg strength, should be the focus of shooting technique training. Recommendations for schools or clubs to provide strength and jump training facilities, for further researchers to examine other physical and technical variables that affect jump shooting.
