    This research aims to determine the impact of pre-sports activities on the speed of high school students at the Unidad Educative Rumiñahui. The study addresses the need to implement dynamic and playful strategies that enhance the development of essential physical skills such as speed, fundamental to the comprehensive education of young people. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a pre-experimental, longitudinal, and field design, along with analytical-synthetic, hypothetical-deductive, and comparative methods. The study evaluated 61 students using the 10x5 and 50-meter Eurofit battery tests at two stages: before and after implementing a pre-sports activity program. The data were analyzed using the T-test with a significance level of p≤0.05. The results showed significant improvement in participants' speed. In the 10x5 test, the average time decreased from 23.04 seconds in the pre-test to 19.55 seconds in the post-test, reflecting progress in agility. In the 50-meter test, the average improved from 8.70 seconds to 7.26 seconds, demonstrating an increase in displacement speed. These improvements highlight the positive impact of the pre-sports activity program and validate the research hypothesis. Regarding the conclusions, the program not only improved students' speed and agility but also contributed to the development of key values such as discipline, teamwork, and respect, fostering a positive and collaborative learning environment. The findings align with previous studies, such as those by Haugen and Buchheit (2016) and Vescovi and McGuigan (2008), which emphasize the effectiveness of planned interventions in enhancing specific motor skills. Finally, the study demonstrates that pre-sports activities are an effective and adaptable tool in physical education, combining playful and progressive approaches that motivate active student participation. These results underline the importance of incorporating structured programs into the curriculum to improve physical performance and the comprehensive development of young people in educational contexts.
