EFFICACY OF PLYOMETRIC AND RESISTANCE TRAINING ON THE PLAYING ABILITY OF MALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Keywords:
plyometric training,, experimental group,, basketball 1Abstract
The purpose of study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric and resistance training on the playing ability of male basketball players. 30 young male basketball players were divided randomly into training groups 10 subjects for each group. Experimental group no-1has received 6 weeks of plyometric training, experimental group-2 has received 6 weeks resistance training and control group has been kept their regular sports practice. After the completion of six week plyometric and resistance training program the researcher has again administer the same Fitness Tests for Basketballers, which were previously administered. For testing the statistical significance of each variable of basketball playing ability Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) Test has been employed and further to access the significant improvement for each parameter. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level. From the results it was found that the plyometric training is more effective than resistance training.
