Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate and compare contrast versus complex training on leg muscular power, speed and jumping performance in male basketball players.
Methods: Thirty male basketball players, aged between 18-25 years, from Chulalongkorn University were recruited. The participants, matched by relative strength, were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n=15 each group). In the group 1, the participants performed a contrast training, while the group 2 performed a complex training, twice a week for 8 weeks. Before and after 8-week of training, reactive strength index, peak power, peak vertical ground reaction force, peak velocity, speed 5-meter and 10-meter sprint test, vertical jump and one-step jump were determined. Data were analyzed using One-way analysis of variance with repeated measure and Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple comparison by the Bonferroni and Independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney test to determine the statistical significance level at p-value < .05.
Results: (1) After 8 weeks of training, group 1 showed significant higher (p<.05) in relative strength, peak power, peak velocity, speed than before training. (2) After 8 weeks of training the group 2 showed significant higher (p<.05) in relative strength, peak power than before 8 weeks training (3) After 8 weeks of training, both group did not reach statical significant in relative strength, peak power, peak velocity, speed and jumping performance
Conclusion: A 8-week of contrast training, twice a week, is more effective for improving leg muscular power, speed and jumping performance in male basketball players. Hence, contrast training can be used for enhancing leg muscular performance.
