The
paper was effects of the 4 week plyometric training program on explosive
strength and agility for basketball players. Totally 20 basketball players were
volunteered for the study (age = 15 years +/- 6 months). They were divided to 2
groups: the control group (CG, n = 10; height = 171.930 cm, weight = 70.840 kg,
BMI = 20.563), the experimental-plyometric group (EG, n = 10; height = 173.090
cm, weight = 64.300 kg, BMI = 19.068). The tests are twelve (13) variables of
them, 3 from anthropometric and 10 motor tests. According to the results of the CG,
significant small differences are presented in two tests, such as 20m running
(sprint) testing with significant differences (p= 0.013), and abdominal muscle
testing with significant differences (p= 0.036). However, in the PG,
significant differences in four tests, the jump from place to length with
significant differences (p= 0.003), the high jump with the approach of one foot
significant differences (p= 0.035), push-ups (pump) test with significant
difference (p= 0.004), Illinois Agility test with significant difference (p= 0.004).
Through
which it was possible to conclude that the effects of the experimental-plyometric
training program of the game basketball indicators.
