Background: Increasing the physical capacity of basketball players is needed to support achievement. Good physicality is closely correlated with the resulting exercise performance. Plyometric exercise is an exercise to develop speed and strength (power) by using your own body weight.
Objective: The aim of this study was to look at how plyometric training (PT) affected basketball players' athletic performance. It also provides a theoretical basis in the application of plyometric training (PT) for basketball.
Materials and methods: Science Direct, Web of Science, and Pubmed were among the literature databases we searched for this systematic review investigation. articles that addressed basketball, plyometric training, and physical fitness that were released within the previous five years. A total of 238 published publications were found using the Web of Science, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases. Ten papers that satisfied the inclusion criteria were chosen and examined for this systematic review. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were used in this study to assess standard operating procedures.
Results: Plyometric training has been shown to improve basketball players' physical fitness, according to a systematic review. It has been demonstrated that plyometric training greatly improves basketball players' physical conditioning.
Conclusions: Plyometric training is clearly proven to increase the physical fitness of basketball players. So that this can be a recommendation to be applied as a training menu for basketball athletes to support achievement.
