Abstract

The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the effectivity of the training program designed to focus on development of speed abilities in category under fourteen years basketball players. For this thesis was used experimental method, which concentrated on observation of speed development in two groups of players, each with different conditions defined by training content.

The main hypothesis, presuming relationship between anticipation in our training program and improvement of speed abilities, wasn't confirmed by our calculations. The results were calculated for following tests - 20 m sprint (r = -0.12, p = 0.69, n = 14), flying 15 m run (r = -0.31, p = 0.28, n = 14) and lane agility drill (r = -0.36, p = 0.23, n = 13).
