 Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the Effects of Plyometric Drills Training on Throwing Ability of Basketball Male Players. 16 male Basketball players were selected purposively from I.I.T., Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi U.P. (India). Their age ranged from 18-28 years. Keeping the feasibility in mind throwing ability had been selected for this study. Throwing ability was assessed by given (Number of Trials) ten trials from a distance of 40 feet using baseball pass. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) technique to find out the Effects of Plyometric Drills Training on Throwing Ability of Basketball Male Players.  The level of significance was set at 0.05. The Analysis of Co Variance for Throw for Accuracy Test indicated that the resultant F ratio of 13.005 was significant at 0.05 level of confidence. The F ratio needed for significance with 1/ 13 degree of freedom is 4.60 at 0.05 level of confidence. The same table indicated that there was a significant difference in adjusted means of Throw for Accuracy test of Basketball players between experimental and control groups. Significant Difference was found in Throwing Accuracy. The rate of improvement in throwing abilities was higher for the experimental group in compression to control group.
