INTRODUCTION:
In a dynamic game of basketball that changes by the instant, athletes need to be conditioned to sustain the highly stressful workloads experienced during practice or a game. Shooting goals is the most important skill to indicate the ability of the athletes and team. Because a team who can shooting more goals would be more likely to win. Especially jumping shot is the most common goal scored during a game of basketball. While the jumping shot athletes who can maintaining balance will lead to power and timing control in basketball shooting. From these reasons we are interested to study acute effect of dynamic balance shooting training on dynamic balance in male basketball players. This study aims to study acute effect of dynamic balance shooting training on dynamic balance in male basketball players.
METHODS:
Volunteers were 10 university students who learn basketball for general education at Silpakorn University (mean age 19±1.3 years). Training 8 exercises of dynamic balance, 5 repetitions per set, 3 sets. First set at an angle of 15 degree with the hoop, second set at an angle of 45 degree with the hoop and third set at an angle of 90 degree with the hoop. Before and after participating in the training program, the volunteers must evaluate the dynamic balance by Y-balance test.
RESULTS:
Y-balance test before and after dynamic balance shooting training with 8 exercises (One foot touch (right), One foot touch (left), Front lunge, Jump front, Lunge lateral, Jump right, Jump left and 180 degree jump turn), 5 repetitions per set, 3 set. We found that after dynamic balance shooting training can increases anterior reach of right leg from 74.1±8.7 to 78.8±10.3 cm. and posterior reach of left leg from 87.6±17.1 to 97.8±12.66 cm. When analyzed statistically with pair t-test were significant at level .05.
CONCLUSION:
Balance is important for basketball shooting skills. Dynamic balance shooting training can increased anterior reach and posterior reach in dynamic balance by a short time. Further study should study for long-term effect of dynamic balance shooting training on dynamic balance and jumping shot performance in basketball players.
