Sport has an exceptional ability to attract, prepare and inspire by its tendency. It is about incorporation and citizenship. It represents human qualities, for example, regard for the opponent, acceptance of binding rules, teamwork and fairness, which are all standards which are likewise contained in the Charter of the United Nations, 1945. The study of sports preparing has its own systemized group of information and thus is a science in itself.Sports are typically represented by a bunch of rules or customs, which guarantee fair competition and allow consistent adjudication of the winner. Winning not set in stone by actual job occasions, for example, scoring objectives or crossing a line first or by the assurance of judges who are scoring components of the wearing presentation, including objective or subjective measures such as technical performance or artistic impression.

 Dr James Naismith, the designer of the sport of Basketball expressed (1914) that the primary standard on which the game was based was that it ought to request of, and foster in, the player the most elevated kind of physical and athletic turn of events. To take special care of the body’s need for strength in all planes of movement, the fitness expert ought to coordinate developments at different paces and body positions into their athlete’s training plan. This can be made conceivable with S.A.Q training, as well as changing activity determination and procedures. While improving and refining a player's basketball skills significant for upgrading the nature of play, it is the improvement of the player's athletic skills that permits him to raise his play to a more elevated level. Athletic skills incorporate factors, for example, speed, power, endurance, agility, coordination, balance and reaction time. Further developing these athletic skills is basic to the all out improvement of 3 the athlete. The level at which basketball skills are performed is straight forwardly connected with the level of the athlete’s total conditioning.

Speed, agility, quickness (S.A.Q) started in the USA and was created during the 1980s and made famous by different coaches working in American football. From that point forward, the program has been refined for use in different games. Agility is the ability to keep up with or control body position while rapidly taking a different path during a progression of developments.

This is an exploratory study that has employed methods of data collection and analysis quantitatively. The differences in the mean of each group for selected variable were tested for the significance of difference by paired sample‘t’ test.

For each of the chosen variable, the result pertaining to paired sample‘t’ test among Basketball Players on the Physical fitness variables (i.e., Speed, Agility and Explosive Strength) are presented in the following table:

 Table-1Comparison of Mean differences between Pre-Test and Post-Test of SAQ training group results of Basketball Players with regards to Physical Fitness Variables.

Enclosed as Annexure 01

Table-1 Shows that the SAQ training group difference with regard to Speed between 7.75 & 7.55 for pre and post whereas the SD is .50 & .49.  In the case of Agility mean and SD for pre-test values are 15.87 & 12.46 and for post-test .80 & 1.19 respectively. The mean value of Explosive strength for pre-test is 1.96 and for post-test are 2.50. The SD values are .10 and .35 of explosive strength. The t-value was found to be statistically significant as the value obtained of Speed of 3.53*,19.34* for Agility and -7.85* is for Explosive Strength.So it depicts that there is significant difference found between pre and post-test of Speed, Agility and Explosive Strength.
