Instability Resistance Training Effects on College Basketball Players

Data Sheet 1_Instability resistance training in collegiate basketball: a multitheoretical experimental study.xlsx contains the results of an 8-week training intervention study. The dataset, authored by Hengyu Li and last updated in May 2026, compares outcomes for 60 college basketball players split into instability resistance training and traditional strength training groups. It includes measures of static and dynamic balance, core muscle activation, and shooting performance.

Use Cases

• Compare the effects of instability vs. traditional training on static balance based on modified Romberg test scores.
• Analyze improvements in dynamic balance across three directions using Y-Balance test results.
• Evaluate core muscle recruitment intensity based on surface electromyography (%MVC) data for transversus abdominis, erector spinae, and multifidus.
• Assess performance in a controlled stop-jump shooting task and fatigue-related late-set shooting indicators.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a controlled experimental study with 60 participants randomly assigned to two groups.
• Intervention lasted for 8 weeks with detailed training protocols (twice weekly, 90 minutes per session).
• Results include statistical significance (p-values) and effect sizes (Cohen's d) for all measured outcomes.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The sample is limited to 60 college basketball players, which may limit generalizability.
• Data may reflect the specific context of a single experimental study inherent to the research platform.
