This paper aims to provide an extensive literature review of academic papers written in English about the impact of strength exercises on basketball performance across different educational and training institutions. Resistance training, also known as strength training or weight training, involves using resistance to muscle contractions to enhance strength, anaerobic endurance, and muscle size, and plyometric training enhances neuromuscular coordination by training the nervous system, making movements more automatic during activity, resulting in improved performance. This article comprehensively reviews and evaluates basketball players' strength and plyometric training methods, offering valuable insights and references for scientifically enhancing their shooting, dribbling, and speed performance. The literature review found several key insights into the effects of strength and plyometric training on basketball players. Previous research highlighted that plyometric training (PT) effectively enhances agility, and functional strength training was found to significantly boost lower limb explosive power. Combining strength and plyometric training improved vertical jump performance and reduced injury risk. Core training improved endurance and balance but had limited sport-specific effects. Overall, the literature supports the importance of strength training in enhancing performance and preventing injuries in basketball players. Strength training seems to be very important for inducing basketball performance. It not only builds muscle but also improves basketball skill level. The results show us that a lot of the research has been done on these two training methods separately, and these results imply that more research needs to be done on combining the two methods in order to impact basketball.
