Resistance Training on Agility of Basketball Players. For the purpose of the study 60
male basketball players of West Bengal who had participated in various tournaments
in basketball at the national, inter-varsity, or state level were selected. Their age
ranged from 18-23 years. Agility was selected as a dependent variable and plyometric
training and resistance Training was considered as Independent Variables. For the study
pre test-post test randomized group design comprising of two experimental groups
(n=20 in each group) namely plyometric training group (PT) and resistance training
group (RT) and one active control group (n=20) were adopted. To test the Agility of
basketball players, Illinois Agility Test was used. To compare the effects of plyometric
training and resistance training on agility of basketball players, Analysis of co-variance
(ANCOVA) was used. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The result reveals that
there was significant effect of the plyometric training programme on agility of basketball
players but no significant effect was found by resistance training programme. Based on
the findings and within the limitation of the study it was noticed that plyometric training
help to improve agility of basketball players since the agility performance of the subjects
of experimental groups were found statistically significant. | | Keywords : | | - plyometric training
