Abstract
The demands and nature of basketball competition involve repeat high intensity efforts within a game, and during multi-game national and international tournaments. These demands require that the fitness and conditional attributes of basketball players are well developed to negate the limiting aspects of cumulative fatigue. Basketball is a game that is typically performed in an intermittent manner, and includes numerous bursts of explosive activity. Thus, implementation of training methods that best develop aerobic and anaerobic fitness is of significant importance to basketball coaches and players. The Purpose of the present study was conducted with ultimate objective of identify and evaluate the effect of Sports Specific Circuit Training and High Intensity Interval Training on aerobic capacity in the case of Addis Ababa male basketball players.
Methods: employed were quasi experimental study design. A total of 30 subjects of basketball players with age group 18 - 27 years of male basketball players, having agility score of <12.5 and V – sit and reach scores plus or above half inch from the point of zero.
Participants: 15 subjects in the Group “A” received Sports Specific Circuit Training and 15 subjects in Group “B” received High Intensity Interval Training.
Outcome measures: Aerobic Capacity (VO2max).
Results: Statistical analysis was done by using Paired “t” and independent “t” test showed significant improvement in improving aerobic capacity (VO2max).
Conclusion: It is concluded that there is statistically significant improvement in aerobic capacity High Intensity Interval Training when compared to Sports Specific Circuit Training in male basketball players.
