Effects of Defense Transition Training Program on Stopping The Fast Break Ability in University Players

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to develop a anti defense transition training program on stopping the fast break ability in university players. Materials and Methods: The research employed an experimental methodology. Selecting participants was crucial for defining the study's scope and ensuring the relevance of its findings. The participants were university basketball players aged 18-22 years, selected to ensure a representative sample of adult players with varying physical abilities. A total of 20 players participated, maintaining an equal distribution of genders, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the training program's impact. Results: Research results reveal that 1）The ability of a player or team to rapidly and effectively halt the opposing team's fast break consists of anti-defense skills (teamwork, no middle penetration, no ball reversals, and move when the ball moves.) and physical fitness for anti-defense (anaerobic capacity, speed, power, and agility). 2) The effects of before training, after training 4th week, and after training 8th week, using a anti defense transition training program on stopping the fast break ability in university players was increase significant difference (t-values: teamwork: 7.89, no middle penetration: 8.33, no ball reversals: 3.33, moving with the ball: 6.75, p < 0.01). 3) The effects between youth players trained using a defensive program and those trained through traditional basketball training methods were significant differences (t-values: anaerobic capacity: 45.29, speed: 38.14, power: 49.12, agility: 42.76, p < 0.01). Conclusion: By implementing the anti-defense transition training program, the Shenzhen Technology University basketball team not only achieved notable progress in their ability to stop fast breaks but also showed significant improvements in overall defensive skills and physical fitness. These findings provide valuable insights for future basketball training methodologies and emphasize the importance of continuously improving and adapting training programs to meet the evolving demands of the game.
