增強式訓練(plyometric training)已是常用之訓練方式，本研究目的是評估增強式訓練對於大專女籃乙組籃球專項運動技能之效果。共有20位選手參與此研究，將選手隨機分為兩組，一組控制組，另一組訓練組。訓練組除日常籃球訓練模式之外，再加入增強式訓練，每週訓練2次，連續訓練6週，控制組只接受日常籃球訓練。在本研究中評估垂直跳高度、4點折返跑時間、下蹲跳(counter-movement jump)及蹲踞跳(squat jump)的下肢肌力及爆發力作為測驗籃球專項運動技能的表現。以相依樣本t檢定統計訓練前後之差異，並以獨立樣本t檢定統計控制組及訓練組的差異。再將垂直跳高度、4點折返跑時間、蹲踞跳及下蹲跳的下肢肌力及爆發力數值等測驗參數，以皮爾森積差相關進行統計。研究結果顯示訓練前兩組之垂直跳高度及4點折返跑計時無顯著差異；在訓練後兩組的垂直跳高度無顯著差異，但是兩組之4點折返跑計時有顯著差異。訓練組經過增強式訓練後，在蹲踞跳肌力(SJS)、下蹲跳肌力(CMJS)及蹲踞跳爆發力(SJP)有顯著差異(P<.05)；控制組則在蹲踞跳肌力及下蹲跳肌力有顯著差異(p<.05)；在後測的下蹲跳爆發力(CMJP)測試中，控制組與訓練組有顯著差異；垂直跳與4點折返跑時間呈現負相關(r＝-0.710)，研究中亦顯示垂直跳高度與蹲踞跳及下蹲跳的下肢肌力及爆發力數值並無相關。由於增強式訓練已屬於常態之訓練，但是其訓練計畫之設計並未臻完善，希望未來在增強式訓練部分可再繼續進行長期訓練之追蹤，以瞭解長期訓練與短期訓練之效果。

Plyometric training has become a popular training method for sports events which require power and jumping ability. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of plyometric training on basketball specific skills in female collegiate basketball players. Twenty players were randomly assigned into a control group (CG)(n=l0) and a plyometric training group (n=10). The plyometric training group (PTG) underwent training 2 days per week for a duration of 6 weeks. The control group performed general basketball skill training only. Tests used to assess specific basketball performance skills included the vertical jump, 4-point shuttle run, and power and strength of the lower extremities by squat jump (SJ) and counter-movement jump (CMJ). The paired t-test was used to examine the difference between pre- and post- test. The independent t-test was used to assess the difference between control and plyometric training groups. Pearson product moment correlation was used to establish relationships among testing variables. The results indicated no significant difference between control and training groups in vertical jump and 4-point shuttle run before the 6-week training. After plyometric training, the training groups demonstrated a significant decrease in 4-point shuttle run time (p<.05) which revealed that the less performing time and the improvment of speed and agility of players. The plyometric training group significantly improved in SJS, CMJS, and SJP (p<.05). The control group also improved in SJS and CMJS significantly (p<.05). In comparison of the two groups, there were a significant difference in CMJP at post-test. Pearson product moment correlations showed negative relationship between vertical jump and 4-point shuttle run, and no relationship between height of vertical jump and SJS, SJP, CMJS, and CMJP. In summary, 6 week duration of plyometric training is effective for improving the agility, speed, SJS, SJP, and CMJS in female collegiate basketball players except CMJP, and a negative relationship was found between the vertical jump and 4-point shuttle run.
