Abstract

A sample with 108 members was realized with 16 and 17 years old female basketball players, members of the youth schools of FBC “Struga 2009”, FBC “Krosig” Skopje, and FBC “Bashkimi” Prizren, to determine the effects of sixteen-week practice process for developing explosive strength of the lower limbs. The sample was composed of three groups, realized by 36 female basketball players. The first experimental group E-1 realized 16 week-experimental program for improvement of the explosive power of lower extremities with plyometric training in FBC “Struga 2009” from Struga. The second experimental group E-2 realized 16-week experimental program for improvement of the explosive power of lower extremities with exercises of general character for development of the explosive power called “Chess table” in FBC “Krosig” from Skopje. Control group K-1 realized technical-tactical elements as provided with the trainer program of the club FBC “Bashkimi” from Prizren. In this research were applied in total 12 anthropometric variables, (6) six variables for assessing the general motor skills and (6) six variables for assessing the specific motor skills. The system of predictive anthropometric variables does not have significant effect on most of the criterion variables. It can be noticed that the variables that assess the volumes and subcutaneous fat tissue have a negative impact on the specific motor variables. Considering the age of the examinees, a proper engagement and effort will lead them to better results.
