Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of a plyometric exercise program and a high-intensity interval exercise program on basketball playing ability. To achieve the purpose of the study, ninety male basketball players were selected at random to study. All the subjects were students of Avvm Sri Pushpam Arts and Science College (autonomous), Poondi, Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 and 23 years. They were divided into three equal groups of thirty players. The plyometric exercise training group (group I), the high-intensity interval training group (group I), and the control group (group III) Groups I and II underwent their respective training programs for three days per week for twelve weeks; they did not undergo any special training programs apart from their regular physical education curriculum. The control group did not go for any training. All the subjects were tested prior to and after the experimental treatment periods on selected criterion variables related to physical fitness. The following variables, such as explosive strength and speed endurance, were selected as criterion variables: explosive strength was assessed by a medicine ball throw (maximum distance), and speed endurance was assessed by a 1500-meter run. All the subjects in the three groups were tested on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training program as pre- and post-tests. An analysis of covariance (ancova) was used to find out the significant difference, if any, among the groups on each selected criterion variable separately. In all the cases, a.05 level of confidence was fixed 26 to test the significance, which was considered appropriate. There was a significant difference between the plyometric exercise training group, the high-intensity interval training group, and the control group on criterion variables such as explosive strength and speed endurance.
