ABSTRACT
Introduction
Besides excellent sports skills, basketball players must also have a strong cardiopulmonary capacity and sports endurance to maintain good physical strength throughout the game.
Objective
Study the effect of strength training on basketball players’ cardiorespiratory capacity and exercise endurance.
Methods
Throughout the experiment, the athletes in the experimental group performed strength training, including special training to hold the ball, special training without the ball, and comprehensive training. The training methods used in the control group were traditional basic track and field-based strength training, dumbbell, single and parallel bars, etc. The experiment lasted six weeks, and one hour of physical training was performed every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Results
Compared to traditional training methods, the training methods proposed in this paper improved the athletes’ cardiopulmonary capacity and sports endurance. The experimental group had improved dribble jump shot, two minutes continuous shot, T-shaped run, three laps back with variable distance, and comprehensive performance.
Conclusion
This scheme can improve athletes’ cardiopulmonary capacity and routine and basketball-related sports endurance to improve athletes’ competitive level. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigating treatment outcomes.
