Effect of Some Selected Exercises on Flexibility and Coordination of Basketball Players

Exercises on Flexibility and Coordination

Abstract

This research measured the impact of 6 weeks of target training exercises on the flexibility and coordination of basketball players. The study included 30 basketball players, aged 18 to 25, from Guru Kashi University. Participants were randomly assigned to two equivalent groups: an experimental group and a control group. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group followed a lesson plan, while the control group continued as usual. Research was done using the Sit and Reach trunk flexibility and the Eye-Hand Coordination test to evaluate visual motor response, on the initial and final days of the training period. When doing the analysis of the data, the researcher used a t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The primary objective of the research was to investigate the impact that specific flexibility and coordination workouts have on the free trunk rotation and eye-hand coordination abilities of basketball players while they participate in the sport. The hypothesis that was made for the study was that aimed training designed for basketball players would positively and greatly impact both assessed physical traits. This study was conducted only on male athletes at the Guru Kashi University Stadium. The subjects of the study were competing basketball players at the college, with trunk flexibility and eye-hand coordination being the variables of focus.
