Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an 8 weeks plyometric training program on explosive strength performance. Methods: Subjects were 36 female basketball players from division one women basketball team in Taiwan analyzed for 28m sprint, standing triple jump, and vertical jump before and after an 8-week training program. The control group had the regular basketball training through 8-weeks training program, while the experimental group had 2 extra plyometric training sessions per week through 8-week training program. Data were analyzed by paired sample t-test to compare the differences between the two groups before and after the training, and t-text to compare the differences within the group after the training. Results: 1. After 8-week training program, the experimental group had significant improvement on 28m sprint, vertical jump, and standing triple jump. 2. After 8-week training program, experimental group had significant better performance on 28m sprint and vertical jump than control group; however, no significant difference was found on standing triple jump for both experimental group and control group. Conclusion: Plyometric training was found to help increase the explosive strength performance on basketball players.
