This study compared speed, agility, and leg power between university-level futsal and football players. Though both sports have similar fitness demands, variations in surface, intensity, and tactics may affect performance. Thirty male players (futsal: n = 15; football: n = 15; mean age: 22.42 ± 1.72 years) were selected via convenience sampling. Physical fitness was assessed using the 30-meter dribble test, Illinois agility test, vertical jump, and standing broad jump. Independent sample t-tests revealed no significant differences (p > .05) between the two groups in any of the variables, suggesting comparable athletic profiles despite differing match conditions.
