Author(s): Rajan Balakrishnan and Selvaraj Sudhakar
Abstract:The study is to determine the effectiveness of different resistance theraband training on throwing accuracy among collegiate basketball players.
Introduction: Resistance Training is a type of exercise which utilizes a tool, an equipment or one’s own weight to apply an external force to the body that stretches a segment of the body. The goal is to stimulate reactive improvements in support, stability, strength, symmetrical balance and muscle mass in order to improve muscle endurance. Theraband was consumed millions across the globe and is recommended by the American Heart Association Sports medicine, professionals, the gym, fitness and for rehabilitation purpose.
Methodology: It is an experimental study with 30 subject performed resistance theraband training. The study was conducted for 6 weeks. The outcome measure was seated Medicine Ball Put Test (SMBPT). Pre-test was measured before initiation of the first training session and Post test was performed at the end of last training session.
Outcome measure: Seated Medicine Ball Put Test.
Results: On comparing mean values of Seated Medicine Ball Put Test Score between Pre-test 4.17 ± .312 and Post-test 5.74 ± .423 within group (Resistance Theraband Training), it shows there is a highly significant difference between Pre-test and Post-test mean values at P ≤ 0.001.Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Conclusion: Resistance theraband training has shown greater improvement in terms of Seated Medicine Ball Put Test (SMBPT) test which improves throwing accuracy in collegiate basketball players.
