APPLICATION OF OPTIMIZED STRENGTH TRAINING IN UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL

ABSTRACT Introduction In current university basketball instruction, strength training is relatively extensive, being employed in running, jumping, and other sports. Training specifically targeted at basketball players is believed to have a superior effect on athlete performance. Objective Explore the effect of applying optimized strength training to teaching college basketball. Methods This experiment adopts the single variable method, and the control group uses the traditional strength training method. The experimental group combines training optimized for basketball needs. The duration of each strength training is 60 minutes, three times a week, for a total of 6 weeks. The college students’ baseline quality scores and basketball skills were measured before and after the intervention. Results Both traditional and optimized strength training can effectively improve college players’ baseline quality and skills. Since optimized strength training is more targeted, the improvement of basketball skills is more evident. Conclusion Optimized basketball strength training can effectively fill the deficiencies of traditional strength training and increase the performance of its athletes, and research is needed for its popularization.
