Effect of Plyometric Training on Key Physical Fitness Components of Basketball Players in the Jammu Region

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Plyometric Training on key physical fitness components among basketball players in the Jammu Region. The research involves an experimental group of twenty college-level students, aged 18 to 25 years, who undergo a 12-week Plyometric Training program. The selected variables for testing the hypothesis include Explosive Strength, Speed, Endurance, Flexibility, and Neuromuscular Coordination. A paired t-test is used for data analysis, with the level of significance set at 0.05. Measurements of these variables are taken before and after the training period to assess the effects of Plyometric training. The results reveal significant improvements in Explosive Strength, Speed, Endurance, Flexibility, and Neuromuscular Coordination among the basketball players.
