The first group underwent the short term resistance training with skill training group with N-20, the second group underwent regular resistance training with skill training group with N-20, the third group acted as a control group with N-20 and they did not perform any specific training. Training the subjects were assessed by the lower body strength (1RM test), leg explosive power (vertical jump test) and shooting ability (Johnson basketball test) conducted before and after the 12 weeks of training regimen. Analysis of variance was used to analyse the data. The result showed that all the training treatments elicited significant improvement in all the variables.
