Brief Summary

Basketball has gained worldwide popularity and fascinated players and spectators with its dynamic characteristics as a team sport. This kind of sport is multifaceted that requires well-developed physical fitness to be played successfully. Many authors have suggested that strength, power, agility, and speed are important performance related physical components for elite basketball players. The physical components require that fitness and conditioning attributes of basketball players are well developed to negate the limiting aspect of sport performance. Moreover, functional training is becoming increasingly popular within the fitness industry and has been considered to be a better alternative than traditional training methods for improving various measures of performance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether functional training has effects on performance and related various physical components of basketball players.

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group followed routine basketball training and traditional strength training.

Training Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Functional exercises were applied to training group for 20 weeks (2 days/week) with routine basketball training.

Other: Functional Training

Interventions

Functional Training OTHER

Functional training has been defined as emphasizing multiple muscle and joint activities, combining upper and lower body movements, and utilizing more of the body in each movement. The primary goal of functional training is to transfer improvement achieve in one movement to enhancing the performance of another movement by affecting the entire neuromuscular system.
