Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The purpose of the study is to find out the impact of combined training modulates on selected technical parameters of basketball players. To achieve the purpose, thirty women basketball players were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged between 18 to 24 years. The selected subjects were assigned into two groups of 15 subjects each. Group I underwent combined plyometric plus strength training for three days per week for six weeks and group II acted as control. Among the technical parameters in basketball, shooting ability and defensive movement were selected as criterion variables. The combined plyometric plus strength training was selected as independent variable. The shooting ability and defensive movement were assessed by speed spot shooting test and defensive movement test respectively. All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected dependent variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The data was analyzed using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the &amp;ldquo;F&amp;rdquo; ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that the combined plyometric plus strength training for six weeks is more effective in increasing the shooting ability and defensive movement of women basketball players&lt;/p&gt;</p>
