Effects of plyometric and weight training on specific physical fitness variables of college male basketball players
Author(s): Amrot Gizaw Gibo and A Pallavi
Abstract:
The study sought to assess the impact of plyometric and weight training on particular physical fitness parameters among collegiate basketball players in a controlled setting. The study employed a pre-test-post-test control group design to examine the correlation between basketball players and their performance. The individuals were randomly assigned to three groups, with only the experimental groups, (EGI and EGII), receiving therapy. The researcher employed many strategies, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches, to gather data via fieldwork, pre-tests, and post-tests, utilising suitable testing protocols. The research examined data from the EG and control group (CG) utilising SPSS software version 25. Descriptive statistics were employed to elucidate the impacts of plyometric and weight training on specific physical fitness metrics scores of collegiate basketball athletes. The statistical significance was set at p<0.05. The difference in average test scores was analysed using one-way ANOVA.
The study aimed to evaluate the effects of plyometric training, weight training, and usual basketball training on particular physical fitness metrics across groups (EGI, II, & CG). The results revealed a significant difference in average test scores across the EGI, EGII, and CG groups. The EGI & II had a superior mean score in vertical jump height, 1-minute push-up, 1 MR, and 30-meter sprint post-test score, elevating it from average to an excellent performance level in comparison to CG.
The study concluded that a twelve-week plyometric and weight training program significantly enhanced the physical fitness measures of the EGI and EGII. College basketball coaches should incorporate plyometric and weight training into their training regimens to enhance physical fitness variables, and players' overall athletic performance.
