Abstract. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of two short-term off-season conditioning training programs on fitness performance in young basketball players. Twenty-one young basketball players, aged 12-13 years, volunteered to participate in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to a strength training group (ST, n = 10) or a combined plyometric and strength training group (CT, n = 11). The ST group performed free full court basketball play followed by strength training, whereas the CT group performed plyometric exercises followed by the same strength training program. Young basketball players were assessed before and after a six-week training period on the vertical jump, long jump, medicine ball toss, 20 m sprint, 4 x 15 m standing start running and stand and reach flexibility. The CT group made significantly (p < 0.05) greater improvements than the ST group in the vertical jump (3.2 cm vs. 0.6 cm), long jump (10.3 cm vs. 2.2 cm), 20 m sprint (-0.2 sec vs. 0.0 sec), 4 x 15 m standing start running (-0.41 sec vs. -0.05 sec) and the medicine ball toss (40.7 cm vs. 18.2 cm) following the training. The results of this study demonstrate that a short-term plyometric and strength training program significantly increases motor performance skills in young basketball players.

EFEKTI PLIOMETRIJSKIH TRENINGA I VEŽBI SNAGE NA FITNES PERFORMANSE KOŠARKAŠA MLAĐIH KATEGORIJA
Aktuelno istraživanje je imalo za cilj da proceni i uporedi efekte dva kratkoročna kondiciona programa za košarkaše mlađih kategorija, koja su sprovedena u prelaznom periodu. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo dvadeset i jednog košarkaša starosti 12-13 godina. Ispitanici su nasumično podeljeni u dve grupe: grupu koja je koristila vežbe snage (ST, n = 10) i grupu koja je kombinovala pliometrijski trening sa vežbama snage (CT, n = 11). ST grupa je vežbe snage izvodila posle “igre na dva koša” dok je CT grupa vežbe snage izvodila posle pliometrijskih vežbi. Fitnes performanse mladih košarkaša su pre i posle šestonedeljnog trenažnog perioda procenjivane skokom u dalj, skokom u vis, bacanjem medicinke, sprintom na 20m, trčanjem 4 x 15m i pretklonom u stojećem stavu. CT grupa je nakon trenažnog perioda pokazala statistički značajan napredak u skoku u vis (3.2 cm vs. 0.6 cm), skoku u dalj (10.3 cm vs. 2.2 cm), trčanju na 20 m (-0.2 sec vs. 0.0 sec), trčanju 4 x 15 m (-0.41 sec vs. -0.05 sec) i bacanju medicinke (40.7 cm vs. 18.2 cm). Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazali su da je pliometrijski trening kombinovan sa treningom snage u kratkom vremenskom periodu značajno povećao motoričke sposobnosti mladih košarkaša.
