The effects of a 6 week plyometric training programme on explosive strength and agility in professional basketball players

Original language description

Explosive strength of the lower extremities and agility are important parts of game performance in basketball. Although numerous studies have focused on the assessment of the training effect of plyometric training, studies focusing on elite players are missing. The aim of the study was to find out what changes in explosive strength of the lower extremities take place after a 6 week plyometric training applied in training units during the pre-season in elite basketball players. Elite basketball players (N = 12, age 24.36 +- 3.9 years, height 196.2 +- 9.6 cm, weight 92.9 +- 13.9 kg) performed a 6 week plyometric training (PT) programme predominantly focused on explosive strength of the lower body and upper body and was conducted in sixteen training unitsduring pre-season.
