This research aimed to identify the effect of a
training program on enhancing explosive power and improving jump shooting
performance among basketball players. The researcher adopted an experimental
approach using a single-group pre-test/post-test design, as it was suitable for
the nature and objectives of the research. The research sample consisted of
(20) basketball players from the Babylon Sports Club, aged between (18–20)
years, selected purposively.
The researcher used the standing vertical jump test to
measure the explosive power of the legs, and the jump shooting test to measure
the level of skill performance. A training program was implemented for (10)
weeks, with (3) training sessions per week, which included a set of exercises
aimed at developing explosive power and improving jump shooting performance.
The results showed statistically significant
differences between the pre-test and post-test in the variables of explosive
power and jump shooting, favoring the post-test, indicating the effectiveness
of the training program in developing these two variables. The results also
showed a positive correlation between explosive power and jump shooting
performance among the research participants.
The researcher concluded that the training program
used effectively contributed to enhancing explosive power and improving jump
shooting performance among basketball players, and recommended the need to
focus on developing explosive power within training programs due to its
positive impact on improving players’ skill performance.
