“Effect of Sports Specific Training Program on Skill Performance of Basketball Players – A Randomized Trial”
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate effectiveness of basketball-specific training program on Skill performance of amateur basketball players. Methods: Randomized controlled trial using hidden allocation, accessor blinding, and analysis under the intention to treat standard. Participants: Regular basketball practices were attended by 56 amateur basketball players. Intervention: For a period of 12 weeks, the experimental group participated in a sports-specific training program that involved three 60-minute sessions each week. The standard conditioning program was carried out by the control group. Results were measured by Johnson Basket ball test for number of successful baskets made and dribble score by dribbling Test at weeks 0 and 12. Results: Randomization allocated 29 participants in each group. Three participants from the experimental group and two from the control group did not complete the study. After 12 weeks the mean between-group difference for the performance of accurate basket was 2.56 to 3.57 and Dribbling Score was 7.68 to 11.24 at (95% CI).
Conclusion: Basketball sports-specific training program that incorporates basketball-specific exercises have shown improvement in the level of skill performance-related variables in amateur basketball players. The effect appears to be more significant when the program is implemented for 12 weeks.
