Abstract

The study aimed to assess the effect of Spring Board Training on the jumping ability of women basketball players. A total of 30 women intercollegiate level basketball players (N=30) from YMCA College of Physical Education, Chennai, and were divided into two groups: Group I (Spring Board Training) and Group II (Control group). The experimental group underwent six weeks of Spring Board Training, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to measure the jumping ability of participants using vertical jump tests. Statistical analysis, including t-tests, was used to determine the significance of differences between the pre- and post-test scores within each group. The results indicated a significant improvement in the jumping ability of the Spring Board Training group, whereas no significant change was observed in the control group. These findings suggest that Spring Board Training can be an effective method for enhancing the jumping ability of women basketball players.
