Abstract
Background: As Basketball requires high level conditioning abilities, it is necessary to have the arm andleg explosive power and agility to be derived at desired level. To achieve this derivation we have postulatedthe Dynamic Neuromuscular exercise training program for Basketball players. This could be useful toenhance their performance by improving their abilities. Aim: To study Effect of Dynamic NeuromuscularExercise Training on Explosive arm strength and agility in Basketball Players. Setting and Design: Ethicalapproval was obtained from Institutional ethical committee. Subjects were selected by convenient samplingmethod. The players were evaluated for Agility and explosive arm stregth. A survey among 68 playerswas done among which 60 patients participated based on inclusion criteria which were divided into twogroups. Methods and Material: Experimental group (Group A, n=30) received Dynamic NeuromuscularExercise Training Programfor 4 days/week for 6 weeks whereas control group (Group B, n=30) received theconventional exercises. Pre and post treatment analysis was recorded using Illinois agility test and Medicineball throw test. Statistical Analysis: Data was subjected to Shapro-Wilk test which showed data does notpass normality test hence parametric pair and un-paired t test were performed to analyse the data within thegroups. Result: Between group comparisons; group A (n=30, mean age= 21.37±2.12) showed extremelysignificant (p<0.0001), improvement in Medicine ball throw test in pre (5.80±0.88) to post intervention(8.15±0.80) than group B(n=25, mean age=22.9±2.41) in pre (5.9±1.01) to post intervention (6.35±0.97).As well the Illinois agility test showed significant improvement (p<0.0001) in group A (pre= 21.9±2.9to post=17.85±1.6) than group B (pre=23.35±2.07to post=22.67±2.10).Conclusion: Study concluded thatthere is significant effect of Dynamic Neuromuscular training on explosive arm strength and agility inbasketball players.
