The effect of competitive ballistic training on improving some physical elements and offensive performance in basketball

Abstract

The effectiveness of the methods of sports training varies according to the different sports activity practitioner, and this is what drives the work towards renewal and development in accordance with the special physical requirements related to the skill, planning and psychological aspects, leading to the achievement of the highest levels, so this research aims to demonstrate the impact of ballistic training using the competitive method In which weight training exercises are combined with plyometric training in accordance with the realistic atmosphere of sports competition, which leads to the development of explosive strength and some special physical characteristics that can positively affect the performance of basketball players, especially when performing offensive duties.

      The experimental method was used with two groups, one of them was a control and the other was an experimental with a sample represented from students of the Department of Physical Education at the University of Benghazi, who practiced the game of basketball (24 players). They were divided into two equal groups in the variables under consideration according to the results of the pre-measurements, and after that the proposed training program was applied using ballistic training using the competitive method on the experimental group, while the control group was subjected to its usual programs for ten weeks, after that post-measurements were conducted and showed statistically significant differences confirming the effectiveness of the proposed training program in improving the level of muscle strength of the muscles of the arms and legs, which led to improving the performance level of offensive skills of players practicing basketball, so the researchers recommend using ballistic exercises in a competition style in improving some special physical elements, such as muscle strength, as it relates to the development and improvement of many offensive skills in basketball. The researchers also recommend for more similar studies by using ballistic exercises in a competition style to improve some physical elements of other sports activities.
