Abstract :

Previous studies have shown that the combination of exercise and supplementation can have beneficial effects on health and athletic performance. Therefore, the aim of this semi-experimental research is to investigate the effect of seven weeks of intense interval training with the supplement of caffeine on the explosive power and agility of basketball players. The statistical population of this research was young basketball players in the age range of 20 - 25 years in Yazd province. These people have at least two years of experience in basketball with three regular training sessions per week and have not taken any supplements and had no history of cardiovascular disease. 36 basketball players were selected voluntarily and divided into four equal groups of supplementation and training, training, supplementation and control. Two-way covariance analysis was used for the difference between data groups with SPSS-20 software at a significance level of P≤0.05. the results showed that seven weeks of intense interval training with caffeine supplementation had a significant effect on the players' explosive power, but had no effect on their agility.
