The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of aquatic and landplyometric training on strength; sprint; power and agility Eighteen young male basketballplayers (height=179.34±6.11 cm; body mass= 67.80±9.52 kg; age=18.81±1.46 years; sportexperience=4.8 ±2.47 years) volunteered in this study and divided to three groups; aquaticplyometric training (APT); land plyometric training (LPT) and control group (CON).Experimental groups trained eight weeks and 3 times a week and 40 min. Testing measuresincluded leg press strength; 36.5 and 60 meters sprint times; long jump; vertical jump; T testand Illinois. The results in this study indicated that: both groups (aquatic and land) significantlyimprove in agility; sprint; and power explosive at pretest. Also; there were significantdifferences between aquatic and control in all variables (P<0.05). Therefore; plyometric trainingin water can be an effective technique to improve physical performance in young basketballplayers.
