Sepaktakraw is a traditional sport that continues to grow. The dominant biomotor component in this sport is leg power. The majority of techniques in this game are done by jumping. By having good power, the jump height can be maximized so that the potential for success in performing the technique is greater. This research aims to find out what kind of surface training is most effective for improving physical condition. There are several surfaces that have been popularly studied in recent years, namely sand and water. The research method used is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design. The subjects in this research were 40 sepaktakraw athletes. The results of this research are that training in sand is more effective in increasing leg power. The average athlete's height is 168 cm, weight 60 kg, and age 17 years. Athletes were divided into 4 groups, namely the sprint training group in the sand, the repeated jump training group in the sand, the sprint training group in the water, and the repeated jump training group in the water.
