This study was conducted in 2019 to examine the effect of 12-week plyometric training on some physical and physiological values and anaerobic power performance of basketball players aged 18-23 studying at a private college.This study aimed and conducted in 2019 to examine the effects of 12-week plyometric training on some physical and physiological values and anaerobic power performance of 18-23 year old basketball players. Divided into two groups, the control and experimental groups, a total of 34 athletes who were interested in the basketball branch for not less than 4 years participated in the study voluntarily. Internationally valid laboratory standard proven tests were applied. While the control group did technical-tactical training for 3 days in a week, the experimental group did plyometric training only before technical-tactical training. At the end of 12 weeks, the results of the groups divided into two were evaluated statistically with dependent and independent sample t-test. As a result of the study, the improvement in height values of both groups was found to be significant (P <0.01). It was observed that the horizontal and vertical jump values of the experimental group increased significantly compared to the control group (P < 0.01). When we evaluated it in terms of anaerobic power, the values of the experimental group were significant compared to the pre-training (P<0.01), while there was no significant difference compared to the control group (P<0.01).
