Introduction. This study investigated the impact of specific training on the explosive force and agility of players during the preparatory phase of basketball, handball and volleyball. Aim. The purpose of this study was to notice the differences between sports and improvements during the preparatory phase and in the future to serve the coaches in preparing better sport specific programs. Materials and Methods. The research sample was chosen among students of the University of Prishtina Faculty of PES. The sample was split in three groups. The first group was composed of 15 students who were active basketball players in different Super league teams. The second group was composed of 15 students who were active handball players while the third group was composed of 15 students who were active volleyball players. Seven different motor tests were used to determine the explosive force and agility: Leonardo Jumping Test, the Long Jump, the Seated Medicine Ball Throw, the 20-Meter Speed Test, the Agility T-Test, the Illinois Agility Test and the Hexagon Agility Test. LEJUTE were applied using Leonardo Mechanography GRFP STD. Results. The variable analysis showed that the training programs for basketball, volleyball, and handball increased the explosive force and agility of the players. The process of increasing agility occurs when explosive force and speed are developed as a precondition for improving balance and coordination. Conclusions. We can conclude that due to the higher priority and importance given in the preparatory phase from basketball clubs to agility and explosive force training, the students engaged in professional basketball clubs have shown better results overall.
Analysis of Agility, Strength and Power Differences in Basketball Players in Relation to Age
International Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences, 2022
Basketball relies on ideal physical conditions. Power, agility, and strength are three of the most significant physical characteristics. To develop an appropriate training program depends on age, knowledge of power, agility, and strength are required. The study's goal was to examine power, agility and strength as a function of age. Ex post facto sampling was used in this study, and it was done using the purposive sampling strategy. Research participants were basketball junior players aged 15 to 18 years who were divided into 3 groups based on age. Vertical leap, 505, barbell squat, and bench press were the test instruments used. Kruskal Wallis and post hoc tests were used to analyze the research data. The power analysis was found to be 0.041>0.05, agility 0.094>0.05, leg strength 0.0010.05, and arm 0.0000.05 based on the Kruskal Wallis test results. The sig value of the post hoc test on the study of leg and arm strength was 0.0000.05. In conclusion, there was no significant difference between the analyses of power and agility, but there was a significant difference between the analyses of arm and leg strength at the ages of 15 and 18. The results of these findings can be used to increase the knowledge base and as an evaluation material for coaches for their athletes.

Complex reaction speed, acceleration, maximum speed, speed of whole-body change of direction and agility represent the basic components of sport performance mainly in sport games and combat sports. However, contradictory findings have been reported as to the extent of the relationship between the different speed and agility components. This study comprised 117 players (soccer-56, basketball-17, volleyball-20, and handball-24) playing youth leagues U15-U17 who were assessed for 10-m sprint (acceleration), flying 30m sprint (maximum speed), triple-jump (special explosiveness) performance, Illinois agility test (speed of whole-body change of direction) and Fitro Agility Check (agility). Low (0.112-0.425 in soccer) correlation coefficients between the factors were found in soccer, while in the other sport games they were medium (0.329-0.623 in basketball; 0.414-0.686 in handball) to high (0.569-0.768 in volleyball). Negative relationship was observed between Triple jump and all other tests performances in all sports games. The findings suggest that specific training procedures for each speed and agility component should be utilized already in junior ages.

Purpose: To investigate the reliability and determinants of performance in a new test of planned agility in elite junior basketball players. Methods: Seventeen female (15.1 ± 0.4 y, 176.9 ± 11.2 cm, 65.7 ± 10.9 kg) and 42 male (14.9 ± 0.4 y, 193.7 ± 8.1 cm, 79.0 ± 12.0 kg) elite junior basketball players performed 5 fitness tests presented in a random order, including a 20-m sprint, a plannedagility test, a triple bilateral horizontal countermovement jump, and 2 triple unilateral horizontal countermovement jumps (with each leg separately). The novelty of the planned-agility test is that it included both offensive and defensive movements. The determinants of planned agility were assessed by a stepwise-regression analysis, and the reliability of the new test was evaluated by the intraclass correlation coefficient and the typical error of measurement. Results: The main results show good reliability of the new test of planned agility. In addition, the determinants of planned-agility performance were different between genders, with sprint performance explaining 74.8% of the variance for girls, while unilateral jump performance and body mass were the most important for boys, accounting for 24.0% and 8.9% of the variance, respectively, in planned agility. Conclusions: These results highlight a gender effect on the determinants of planned-agility performance in young elite basketball players and suggest that straight-line sprint and unilateral horizontal tests must be implemented to test elite junior players.

The purpose of present study was to compare the selected physical and performance variables of university-level basketball, football and volleyball players. The present study was conducted by 23 students studying in the faculty of health sciences and playing in their school's Football (n = 7), Volleyball (n = 8), Basketball (n = 8) teams and the age ranged from 18-23 years. Several physical and physiological characteristics of the students were evaluated. These characteristics are weight, height, BKI, flexibility, isometric muscle strength, muscular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic performance. While comparing between sports disciplines, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for data with normal distribution, and Kruskal Wallis test was used for non-distributed data. The results of the study indicate that there was significant difference among Basketball, Volleyball and Football in relation to VO2 Max, muscle strength, anaerobic power. The aerobic performance test was significantly better in volleyball (p ≤ 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the results of physical properties, muscle endurance and flexibility among teams (p>0.05). These results will provide useful information for university level athletes to be selected according to sports-specific physical fitness criteria and that they should receive training by team coaches accordingly.
