ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of specific training drills on the free throw shot performance of female basketball players. The participants of the study were 20 female basketball players with age ranging from 15 to 17 years, of Hopetown Girls School Dehradun were selected as subjects for the study.they were given six week specific drill treatments. The treatments were given thrice a week in evening game session (Monday, Wednesday and Friday respectively). The AAPHERD modified Basketball shooting test was administrated to check the free throw shot performance of female basketball players. The level of significance chosen was 0.05 level. Standard techniques and procedures were followed and Paired t test was conducted to compare between the groups. The p value so obtained after comparing the pre and post performance was found to have significant difference at 0.05 level of significance in the performance of free throw shot (p<0.05). Over all it was found that six week specific training drill are effective in the improvement of free throw shot performance of female basketball players. Keywords: basketball, Free throw shot, specific basketball drills.. INTRODUCTION: In the modem world due to the growing awareness on sports large number of young men and women participate in all over the world. When, in 1891, DrJames Naismith, a lecturer in an American college, devised a game that would keep his students fit during the winter months, he surely could have had no idea what he was starting. Today, the game of basketball is played all over the world - by boys, girls, men and women - at many different levels (Chris Bunnet and Sean McSweeney, 1991). The game of basketball has become an international pastime that was born out of a physical education project in 1891 (Naismith & Baker, 1996). The global pastime that rivals 20

2 soccer was invented by Mr. James Naismith a Canadian-born physical education teacher at the School for Young Men s Christian Association in Massachusetts. Dr. Gulick, head of the athletic department Young Men s Christian Association, assigned to Naismith the responsibility of developing a game that would provide an athletic distraction from the normal calisthenics and drills of physical education class and serve as a psychological distraction from the brutal New England winters (Naismith & Baker, 1996; The basketball game that Naismith developed borrowed from several sports, including lacrosse, soccer, rugby, and a childhood game called duck on a rock, that required accuracy when throwing stones (Naismith & Baker, 1996). Dr. Gulick accepted Naismith s proposal for the game with the elementary rules of no running with the ball, no rough body contact, a basket goal above the level of the players head, and the ability to score at any time. In a basketball match, both the teams play offensively and defensively at the same time and their main objective is to throw the ball into opponent s basket. The referee throws the ball in air at the beginning of the match and the game begins with the jump of the ball. Both the teams try to grab the ball and control it right from that moment. Passing, ball handling, shooting, and rebounding are among the basic attacking skills of basketball. Among the defensive skills, there is guarding the opponents, blocking and positioning to defend own basket, intercept or steal the ball from the opponents very quickly and also rebounding the missed shots. As basketball is primarily an indoor sport and played in a relatively small playing area or court, it is highly suitable for the spectators who are viewing. As there are only ten players in a game and they use a large ball that is easy to follow, the spectators like the game, very much. There are a large number of terms of basketball that help the spectator and also the players to understand the game, in a better way. 21

3 The match officials and players make good use of these terms to play a fair and standard match. Being one of the earliest countries to adopt basketball, India has so far produced numerous talented Basketball players, who have earned recognition and reputation in the international arena. The Indian basketball players have also won several trophies for their country. METHODS: Twenty female basketball players with the age group from 15 to 17 years, Of Hope town girl s school, Dharadun were randomly select as subjects for the study. All subjects were given one treatments of 45 min on specific training drills thrice a week in the evening sports session (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). The data were collected for variable by administering AAPHERD modified basketball test for measuring the free throw shot performance. Test to collect Pre data was conducted before the start of six week specific shooting drills training programme and post data was collected after the completion of six week training programme. the analysis of data was realized using the statistical program SPSS v 17.for statistical analysis paired t test was employed. CRITERION MEASURES: The free throw shot performance of the player was assessed by the number of successful goal conversion made by the subjects in given trial. RESULTS: The data were collected and analyzed in order to draw a conclusion on the performance of free throw shot after six week specific drill training are given bellow. 22

4 Descriptive statistics of six week training on free throw shot Table 1 S.NO VARIABLES MEAN S.D N 1 Pre test(free throw shot) Pre test(free throw shot) Table- 1 reveals that mean and standard deviation of pre test on free throw short is 7.260, +1.54, and post test free throw shot is 14.56,+1.92, respectively. The mean scores of pre and post of free throw shot has been represented graphically in figure no 1. Fig: 1 23

5 Comparison of mean difference of pre and post free throw shot performance Table 2 Df Mean difference Std.error difference T Significance * It is evident from Table no. 2 that obtained p- value (0.00) is less than 0.05 thus indicating that there is significance difference among pre and post performance of free throw shot after six eek specific training drills on the free throw shot performance..discussion AND CONCLUSION: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of six week specific training shooting drills on free throw shot performance. It is evident from the data obtained that there was significance difference of mean free throw shot performance. The result of the study shows that six week specific training significantly better to enhance the performance of subjects in the shooting performance of the subjects in the shooting skills of free throw shot. All the experimental drills found to be equally effective in case of the improvement in free throw shot skill of female school going students. These finding are in the conformity with the findings of Satheesh Kumar P. and Dr. K. Murugaul (2014) who conducted a study on effect of specific Basketball drills on selected shooting performance of high school male basketball players Experimental Players game throw the specific basketball drill training period of 8 weeks. 24

6 The result of this study shows a statically a significant improvement in the set free throw shot of high school male basketball players. Rishipal (1991) conduct a study on comparative effectiveness of specific circuit training, weight training and combination training on selected skills on basketball players. The skills involved Front shot, Side Shot, Speed pass, jump and reach, over arm pass etc. had shown significant improvement in the selected skills related to Basketball. References: Cousy, B. and.
