The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the agility and reaction time improved significantly due to effect shadow training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style ) status and previous training the results of the current study coincide findings of the investigation done by completely different specialists within the field of sports sciences.
