Abstract: To study the effect of combination of plyometric training and skill training on the development of jumping ability, anaerobic capacity and skill performance of Male Basketball players, sixty male Basketball players (18-25 yrs.) were selected from various colleges in Meerut District, Uttar Pradesh. The subjects were divided as the Experimental group-1 (n=20, PLYOSKILL group) performed the plyometric and skill training, Experimental group-2 (n=20; SKILL group) performed the Skill Training alone, Experimental group:-3 (n=20, CONTROL group) did not perform any training. Pre-test values of jumping ability, anaerobic capacity and playing ability were 14.3± .69, 780.9 ± 54.12, 4.6 ± .59, for PLYOSKILL group, 14.27± .69, 780.9 ± 54.1, 4.6 ± .59 for Skill group and 14.27± .67, 780.95 ± 52.9, 4.7±.656 for Control group respectively. After 12 week of training programme the physical variables and playing ability were significantly improved at (P<=0.05 level). The post-test values of jumping ability, anaerobic capacity and game playing ability were 16.4 ± .59, 818.2 ± 44.2, 6.7± .55 for PLYOSKILL group, 15.02 ± .59, 800.2 ± 28.25, 6.0± .72 for skill group and 14.22 ± .73, 775.80 ±49.47, 4.75± .638 for control group respectively. The study shows that combination of plyometric training and skill training were significantly developed jumping ability, anaerobic capacity and skill performance variables among male basketball players.
