Summary Effect of the Plyometric­electrical training on developing the explosive strength of the legs and its relation to the player's 

performance of some Fundamentals in basketball  

Explosive strength is considered one the main task in basketball as many                         researchers have tried to improve it by using different ways. 

Plyometric training is a method which act to develop the explosive strength,                         but the voluntary contraction which occur during this plyometric training not all                       the muscular fibers are sharing in it, as the person is not able to produce all the                                 strength of his muscles voluntary as the difference between the maximum                     voluntary strength which the body can produce and what can produce of                       strength actually is referred to the storing strength or loosing strength . 

Therefore the less the difference between which the muscle could produce                       voluntary and between could be produced actually of absolute strength the more                       the strength of the muscular flexion. 

The studies have indicated that stimulating the muscle electrically by outer                       methods leads the muscle to produce a strength more then which could be                         produced voluntary , one of these methods is the electrical stimulating to the                         muscles , this idea depends on electric shocks directed from outside the muscles                         through involuntary flexion , as all the muscular fibers which stimulated                     electrically are being flexed . but how the voluntary flexion of the muscle can                           be improved after exposing to the electrical stimulant is still unclear . 

Therefore the research is trying to develop the explosive strength of the leg's                           muscles in the basketball players through new trend in the area of the explosive                           strength through the combination between the plyometric training (Voluntary                 flexion) and the electrical stimulant of the muscles (Involuntary flexion) which                     may lead to developing the explosive strength of the leg's muscles in the                         basketball players which could improve their technical performances related to                   jumping up and speed of the technical performance in addition to improving                       their leg's movements. The researches has called this method                 (Plyometric­electrical training) . 

The objectives :   

1­ Setting a new method in the area of the explosive strength training                       through the combination between the plyometric training and the                 electrical stimulant (plyometric­electrical training) .

2­ To know the effect of the plyometric­electrical training on the                   improvement rate the explosive strength of the leg's muscles in                   basketball players. 

3­ To know the effect of the plyometric­electrical training on the                   improvement rat the performing level of some Fundamentals in                 basketball . 

The hypotheses : 1­ The suggested plyometric­electrical training program lead to increase the                 

muscular size of thigh and skank in basketball players .  

2­ The suggested plyometric­electrical training program lead to develop the                 explosive strength of the leg's muscles in basketball players. 

3­ The suggested plyometric­electrical training program lead to develop the                 maximum strength and the transitional speed of the players. 

4­ The suggested plyometric­electrical training program lead to improve the                 speed and accuracy of the performance level of each of (jump shoot –                         dribbling – foot work) of the basketball players. 

5­ Both methods used in the research (plyometric­electrical training) and                 (the plyometric training only) lead to develop and improve all the                     research variables but with different ratio on behalf of the suggested                     training program (the plyometric­electrical training). 

The procedures: 1­ The method: 

The researches has used the empirical method with two experimental groups                       as it is suitable for the research , so the researcher has used the empirical                             method of the pre and post design of the two groups of the research. 

2­ The domains: 

     1­ The population (the sample): 

­ The basic experiment of the research was conducted to (n = 20) players                         under 20 years at smouha sporting club. 

­ The sample was chosen intentionally and it was divided into two equal                       groups , one is the first experimental group (n = 10) players, the other is                             the second experimental group (n = 10) players . This distribution was                       done according to the researcher knowledge about the players                 characteristics and their playing positions (cut – pivoting – playmaker) as                     this random layer distribution avoid the chance of error with each other.

then completed the remaining training unit by using the plyometric training                     by 50%, the training size represents either repeating the number of jumps in                         the plyometric training or repeating the number of flexion in the electrical                       stimulant. 

7­ The used training load of the muscles when using the electrical stimulant was                           as following : 

­ The strength of the trigger (load intensity) was defined according to the                           player's degree of endurance the degree of triggering was increased every                     four weeks. 

­ The electrical stimulant was given for every other second and for (12­20)                           seconds with a rate of (6­10) contracts followed with a rest of (12­20)                         seconds. 

8­ Concerning the plyometric training it is done on a fixed height of the funnel                             and jumping box for the two groups and the whole length of the program,                           but there is a gradual increase in the program load and the training difficulty                           every four weeks . 

­ The results : 1­ Using the suggested method by using the (plyometric­electrical training)                   

leads to : 

­ Increasing the muscular size of the leg's muscles as the thigh                       circumference increased 40.01% , and the gamellus muscle increased                 4.76% . 

­ Developing the explosive strength of the leg's muscles, as the vertical                       jumping distance has increased 23.47% and the broad jump 10.20 %. 

­ Developing the maximum strength of the leg's muscles 14.48 % . 

­ Developing the maximum speed 10.28 %. 

­ Some basic skills in the basketball have improved such as speed and                         accuracy of jump shoot 75.34 % , dribbling 6.84 % and foot work 7.03%. 

2­ The suggested method by using (the plyometric­electrical) yield the best                     results then using the plyometric training only in all research measurements. 

3­ Using the suggested training program (plyometric­electrical) helps to trigger                   the storing strength with a great ratio than the plyometric training only. 

­ Recommendations: 1­ The suggested training program should be used (plyometric­electrical) to                   

develop the explosive strength and maximum strength of the legs muscles to                       improve all the skillful performance levels related to the foot work such as

jumping up, speed, changing direction, stopping and support in the                   basketball players. 

2­ This suggested program should be used to develop the maximum transitional                       speed and the speed changing direction which the players need to perform                       the dribbling skill. 

3­ This suggested program should be used to develop the muscular size of the                           legs' muscles as in turn increase the muscular strength . 

4­ This suggested program should be used to invest the potential storing                       strength in basketball players and which is difficult to be triggered by using                         the other training method. 

5­ This research could be conducted again on other muscular group especially                       the upper part of performances related to the muscular group such as shoot                         and pass skills.

The purpose of this study was to define the effect of the                         (plyometric­electrical) training on developing the explosive strength of the legs                   and its effect on  improving some Fundamentals in basketball . 

The basic study was administered to (n = 20) players under 20 years and they                               were chosen intentionally. The sample was divided into two experimental the                     first one used the suggested training program (plyometric­electrical) which is a                     combination between the plyometric training and the electrical stimulation of                   the muscles, while the second group used the plyometric training only. The                       training program lasted for 12 weeks , three training units every week, From                         discussing the results the suggested program has led to the following: 

­ Increasing the muscular size of the leg's muscles as the thigh                       circumference increased 40.01% , and the gamellus muscle increased                 4.76% . 

­ Developing the explosive strength of the leg's muscles, as the vertical                       jumping distance has increased 23.47% and the broad jump 10.20 %. 

­ Developing the maximum strength of the leg's muscles 14.48 % . 

­ Developing the maximum speed 10.28 %. 

­ Some basic skills in the basketball have improved such as speed and                         accuracy of jump shoot 75.34 % , dribbling 6.84 % and foot work 7.03%. 

­ The suggested method by using (the plyometric­electrical) yield the best                     results then using the plyometric training only in all research                   measurements. 

­ Using the suggested training program (plyometric­electrical) helps to                 trigger the storing strength with a great ratio than the plyometric training                       only.
