To compare the effects of prescribed weight-training and basketball programs on scores of four test items of the AAHPER basketball skill test for boys, pretests and posttests were administered to three groups of ninth grade boys, 26 in Group I—basketball, 17 in Group II—weight-training, and 15 in Group III—control group. No significant differences were found among groups on the front shot, speed pass, jump and reach, or dribble; and no trend was visible in the ranked order of means on the dependent measures.
