We measured vertical jump, anaerobic power, and shooting accuracy in 18 Division I women basketball players (age 18�22 years) 6 hours following a morning strength training routine called a lift day (LD) and on a control day in which no strength training was performed. Subjects had been strength trained for 4 weeks prior to testing. The strength training session on lift day was a fullbody workout and included 7 exercises performed in 3�6 sets at loads ranging from a 5 to 12 repetition maximum (RM). There were no significant differences in jump height with 2 legs (49.5 6 4.8 cm and 49.0 6 4.8 cm, LD and control, respectively), relative mean power output over 30 seconds on a Wingate bicycle test (6.4 6 0.8 W·kg21 and 6.6 6 0.7 W·kg21, LD and control, respectively), or shooting accuracy over 60 seconds (21.5 6 3.8 points/min and 21.3 6 4.1 points/min, LD and control, respectively).
These data suggest that in collegiate women basketball players, a previous bout of strength training has no negative effect on vertical jump height, anaerobic power, or shooting accuracy.
