The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a lower and upper body 10-week in-season resistance training program on explosive strength development in young basketball players. Twenty-five adolescent male athletes, aged 14-15 years old, were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG; n=15) and a control group (CG; n=10). The subjects were assessed at baseline and after training for squat jump, countermovement jump, Abalakov test, drop jump, and seated medicine ball throw. The experimental group showed significant increases (p<0.05) in all the variable scores. Conversely, the control group significantly decreased (p<0.05) squat jump, countermovement jump, and Abalakov test scores, and significantly increased the results of medicine ball throw test (p<0.05). The groups were similar on pre-test, but significant differences (p<0.05) occurred on post-test in all the variables. The results of the present study show that a 10-week in-season resistance training program with moderate volume and intensity loads increased vertical jump and medicine ball throw performance in adolescent male basketball players. Coaches should know that such a short resistance training program specifically designed for young basketball players, induce increased explosivity levels, which are essential to a better basketball performance, with no extra overload on adolescents' skeletal muscle development. |
