Abstract
Purpose : To study the effect of sportspecific movement training on agility in young male basketball players.
Methods : Twenty-six male basketball players from Udonthani province, aged between 15-18 years, were recruited for this study. They were divided randomly into two groups: the experimental or specific movement training group (n=13) and control or traditional movement training group (n=13). Both groups were trained 3 days per week for 6 weeks. The general physical characteristics, agility, and speed were measured before and after training. Dependent variables were analyzed using pair sample t-test and independent sample t-test. A significance level was considered at p<.05.
Results : The agility and 5-meter speed in the experimental group was lower (p<.05) than in control group. However, the speed at 10 and 20 meters were not significant differences (p>.05).
Conclusion : The specific movement training program is more effective for improving agility and 5 meter speed than the traditional movement training program. This indicates that the specific movement training program can be used as an adjunctive exercise for improving agility in young male basketball players.
