Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study and compare the effects of a combined plyometric and agility training program on scoring and defensive performance. The participants were 30 male basketball players (aged 18–25 years) who were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental group (n=15) that received the combined plyometric and agility training program twice a week for 8 weeks, and a control group (n=15) that followed the regular basketball training. Scoring and defensive performance were evaluated. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. A significance level of .05 was considered the statistical significance. The results showed that after the 8 weeks of training, the experimental group showed a significant increase in scoring performance (p < .05) and a significant decrease in defensive movement time (p < .05). In control group showed no significant differences in either scoring performance or defensive movement measure. However, after eight weeks of training, both groups showed significant improvements in scoring performance and defensive movement time. Therefore, it can be concluded that a combined plyometric and agility training program is an effective training modality for enhancing physical fitness and sport-specific skills essential for competitive performance. This training approach represents a viable alternative that can be appropriately adapted to support performance development in male basketball players.
