STRENGTH TRAINING AND PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT IN BASKETBALL

Abstract

Introduction: Young basketball players are the future of this sport and strength training in these young people can promote the advancement of the sport at its competitive level. Objective: Study the effect of strength training and its impacts on the physical capacity of young basketball players. Methods: 30 students were selected as research volunteers. They were divided into experimental and control groups by random sampling and conducted under a control experiment. The experiment totaled 6 weeks, 3 times a week, with strength training added to the experimental group after standard training in both groups. Intra and extra-group data were obtained, including variables on limb strength and fitness improvement. Results: The two methods can optimize the related indexes, with the optimization effect of the experimental group being greater than the control. Conclusion: Strength training can positively influence the physical endurance and explosive power of young people, positively impacting speed, sensitivity, and other physical qualities.
