ABSTRACT Introduction: Training methods that increase muscle strength have an important effect on basketball. Objective: This study was planned to investigate the effect of a 12-week resisted plyometric training program for isokinetic muscle strength in young basketball players. Methods: Thirty-five male athletes who participate in regular basketball training were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the control group (C), the plyometric exercise group (P), and the resisted plyometric exercise group (RP). All the players participated in the standard basketball training program 5 days a week for 12 weeks. While the control group performed only standard basketball training, the P group and the RP group participated in plyometric and resisted plyometric exercise programs, respectively, 3 days a week. Vertical jump height and isokinetic muscle strength at 60, 180 and 300°s-1 were measured at the beginning and end of the study. Results: The plyometric and resisted plyometric training programs did not alter vertical jump performance. However, isokinetic muscle strength increased at all angles in the P and RP groups. Conclusion: Plyometric and resisted plyometric training programs applied for 12 weeks have a positive effect on muscle strength in young basketball players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
