To study the effects of varied combinations of concurrent aerobic and strength training programme on the selected skill performance and fitness related parameters of male basket ball players, eighty male basketball players age ranged from 18-25 yrs were selected from various colleges. The subjects were divided as the Experimental group:-1 (n=20, CASAD group) performed the combined acrobic and strength program on alternate days, Experimental group-2 (n=20; CASSD group) performed the combined aerobic and strength training programs on the same day, Experimental group:-3 (n=20, CASSTS group) performed a combined acrobic and strength training program at the same training session and the fourth group (n=20, CONTROL group) underwent skill practice alone. Pre-test values of dribbling, speed, flexibility and acrobic capacity were 22.878±1.1.8.7251 34, 26.35±1.2. 40.73152 17 for CASAD, 22.839-12, 8.7685+ 35.26.6±1.1, 40.8445±1.5 for CASSD 228370 ± 3, 8.89352 37, 26.8.83, 40.687+ 1.3 for CASSTS and 22.8575 ± 82, 8.89352.46, 26.8±1.96, 40.687±1.73 for CONTROL group respectively. After 12 week of training programme the skill performance and physical variables significantly improved at (P<0.05 level) and the post test values were 20.8175± 96,7,8065: 23, 28.551.68, 43.745± 1.5 for CASAD. 20.8670185, 7.9015 1.43, 28.25± 71, 42.8375±1.3 for CASSD. 20.90151 7, 8.393± 6, 28.21.95, 42.077 ± 7 for CASSTS and 21.847 87, 8.911± 33, 26.95±1.73, 40.76621.41 for CONTROL group respectively. The study shows that concurrent aerobic and strength training yielded a positive influence on the basketball skill performance and the selected fitness variables namely dribbling, speed, flexibility, and acrobic capacity.
