Abstract

The aim of this research was to compare complex training program between bilateral and unilateral to enhance the jumping performance in male college basketball players. Twenty college basketball players who currently study at college level with average age between 18-25 years old were recruited. The basketball players divided into two groups were randomly assigned to group 1: Unilateral training and group 2: Bilateral training. Two designated groups were trained complex training program 2Dwk for 6 weeks. Researcher collected biomechanics data and lower extremity maximal strength twice before and after training performance to compare result. Statistical was analyzed pre and post data using Paired t - test method and between groups was analyzed by independent t - test.


      These results showed that after 6 week training 1. Complex training of Unilateral and Bilateral were increased term of jumping performance and had no significant difference at the level of .05 statistically. 2. Unilateral and Bilateral groups pre-post showed biomechanics and lower extremity maximal strength and had no significant difference at the level of .05 statistic. 3. Both groups gained jump height and lower extremity maximal strength after six week training significantly at the level of .05.
