Abstract :Purpose: In this study, the effect of 12-week resisted, and non-resistive plyometric training applied to young male basketball players on hand, trunk and leg muscle strength was examined. Method: 27 athletes aged 15+0.8 years old were included in the study. Athletes were divided into 3 groups: control (C), plyometric (P) and weight vest + plyometric (W), with 9 athletes each. All 3 groups performed routine basketball training for 12 weeks. Group C performed routine basketball, group P performed plyometric training using body weight, and group W performed plyometric training with a weight vest. Following the end of the training program, the hand, back and leg muscle strength of all athletes was measured using a dynamometer. The data obtained in the study were presented as mean + SD, comparison between measurements was evaluated with the t test, and p<0.05 was used as the significance level. Results: This study revealed that plyometric and resistance plyometric training applied for 3 months in young basketball players led to an increase in hand, back and leg strength. The results of this study show coaches working in this field that adding resistance plyometric training to the standard basketball training program leads to more effective results in increasing physical performance. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study strikingly revealed that plyometric and resistive plyometric training applied for 3 months in young basketball players led to an increase in hand, trunk and leg strength. Furthermore, with the addition of resistance to plyometric training, there was a significant increase in lower extremity strength, which is extremely important in basketball players.
