The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sprint training on stairs and inclines on increasing leg power in aerobic gymnastic athletes. The sample used was at LPSB Mutiara Purwokerto, totaling 14 athletes with an age range of 13-15 years. Samples were divided into two groups based on pretest scores using ordinal pairing. Instrument for measuring leg power in aerobic gymnastic athletes using the Yo-Yo intermittent test. Data analysis techniques include descriptive analysis, prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity tests), hypothesis testing using paired sample tests and independent sample tests. The analysis used SPSS 23 software. The results showed (1) there was a significant effect of sprint training on the stairs on the leg power of aerobic gymnastic athletes, amounting to 6.66%. (2) There is a significant effect of sprint training on an incline on the leg power of aerobic gymnastic athletes, amounting to 7.06%. (3) There is no significant difference between sprint training on stairs and sprint training on inclines to the leg power of aerobic gymnastic athletes, with t count 0.111 < t table 2.120, and a significance value of 0.913 > 0.05. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it proves that there is no difference in sprinting on stairs and sprinting on inclines to the leg power of aerobic gymnastic athletes. It is suggested to the trainers, to use the sprint training method on the stairs and sprint on the incline as a variation of the exercise in increasing the leg power of aerobic gymnastic athletes.
