Unlocking Explosive Power: Investigating The Impact Of Complex Training On University Men’s Basketball Players

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate how plyometric, strength, and complex training impact the explosive power of university male basketball players, both individually and in combination. For the research, sixty basketball players between the ages of 18 and 25 were elected at random from colleges affiliated with SRMIST in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. These participants were divided into four groups, each comprising 15 players. Group 1 underwent plyometric training, Group II received strength training, Group III engaged in complex training, while Group IV served as the control group. Pre—test scores were collected before the 12-week experimental period commenced. In order to evaluate speed, post-test scores have been recorded subsequent to the intervention. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was utilized to examine mean differences between retest and post-test scores as part of the statistical analysis. Significant findings were further analyzed using Scheff’s post hoc test, with a confidence level of 0.05 for hypothesis testing. Results indicated that the combined training group showed superior performance and explosive power among university men basket ball players compared to the other groups.
