Effects of different sets of rolling foam on agility and jumping power performance among basketball players / Muhammad Amir Nasiruddin Mohamad

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different sets of rolling foam
on agility and jumping power performance among basketball players. A total of
twelve subjects (N=12) from UiTM Pahang basketball team were selected through
purposive sampling. The study compared the post test of agility and jumping power
performance test after applying 1 set of rolling foam for one group and 4 sets of
rolling foam for another group. All of the subjects will perform three trials for
jumping power performance test and two trials for agility test. Both of the groups will
performed the tests immediately after applying the treatment. Illinois Agility Test will
be the test for measuring agility performance and the time taken recorded using
stopwatch while Sargent Jump Test will be the test for measuring the jumping power
performance and the distance height between the jumps recorded by using measuring
tape. Paired Sample T-Test will be used for the data testing analysis. For the first
hypothesis testing, there is a significant effect of different sets of rolling foam on
agility performance which the group with 1 set of rolling foam M=15.85(SD=.2633)
while the group with 4 sets of rolling foam M=17.08(SD=.l336). The second
hypothesis is there is a significant effect on jumping power performance which the
group with 1 set of rolling foam M=61.87(SD=1.96) while the group with 4 sets of
rolling foam M=53(SD=1.129). To conclude, this finding suggests that 1 set of rolling
foam is better than 4 sets in improving agility and jumping power performance
