ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Quality exercise training of young people is a fundamental basic requirement for developing physical fitness in college basketball teaching.

Objective:

Enhance exercise training in young basketball players.

Methods:

A random selection of 50 student volunteers was made for this research. The strength and quality of basketball players of different ages were analyzed. The experimental group was subjected to specific strength training, while the control group was subjected to routine physical exercises. The experiment period was 12 weeks, and the specific technical indicators of the athletes were collected before and after the end of the experiment. The collected data were statistically treated and discussed in light of the scientific literature.

Results:

No significant difference was found between the two groups in the initial test score (P>0.05). The experimental group’s performance in exercise was better than the control group after 12 weeks (P<0.01). The experimental group demonstrated better performance than the control group in the standing jump, 15-meter reentry, and forward jump, corroborating the significantly different data between the two groups (P<0.01).

Conclusion:

This study aimed to study the unique role of strength training in the physical training of young basketball players. Special strength training positively affects upper limb muscle training in young basketball players. The lower extremities of basketball players showed expressive functional gains with special strength training. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
