Summary

This study evaluated the effects of an eight-week unilateral complex training program on lower-limb strength, inter-limb strength asymmetry, and athletic performance in male basketball players. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group that performed unilateral complex training in addition to regular basketball training or a control group that continued regular basketball training. Outcomes included isokinetic knee flexor and extensor strength, hamstring-to-quadriceps strength ratios, inter-limb strength asymmetry, vertical jump performance, and 20-m sprint performance. The study aimed to determine whether unilateral complex training could improve lower-limb neuromuscular function and athletic performance in basketball players.

Conditions

  • Lower-Limb Strength Asymmetry
  • Athletic Performance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Unilateral Complex Training

Participants completed an eight-week unilateral complex training program in addition to their regular basketball training. Training was performed twice per week, with approximately 48-72 hours between sessions. Each session lasted approximately 45-55 minutes and combined unilateral resistance exercises with biomechanically similar explosive or plyometric exercises. Training load and exercise difficulty were progressively adjusted throughout the intervention period.
