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.
