Background. Objectives. This study aims to determine the influence of training methods and concentration on free throw ability in volleyball athletes. Methods. This study uses a 2 x 2 factorial design to determine the influence of two training methods (distributed practice and massed practice) and concentration (high and low) with a sample of 40 basketball players. The study was divided into five groups (AB, A1B1, A2B2, A1B2, and A2B1). Each group consisted of 20 people in distributed practice and 20 in massed practice. Each group was given treatment for 16 meetings. The research data analysis used the two-way ANOVA technique followed by the Tukey test. Results. The results showed that (1) There was a significant difference between the two methods (Fhitung = 17,23 > Ftabel = 4,41). (2) Metode massed practice (X̅ 54) significantly better than distributed practice (X̅ = 46), dengan Qhitung = 6,642 > Qtabel = 2,95. (3) Massed practice is more effective in athletes with high concentration (X̅ = 64 vs 47), Qhitung = 8,868 > Qtabel = 3,85. (4) There was no significant difference between the two methods in athletes with low concentration (X̅ = 45), Qhitung = 0. (5) There is a difference between distributed practice in high-concentration athletes and massed practice in low-concentration athletes (Qhitung = 1,043). (6) Massed practice is better at high concentrations than distributed practice at low concentrations (Qhitung = 9,911 > Qtabel = 3,85). (7) There is an interaction between training methods and concentration (Fhitung = 18,94 > Ftabel = 4,41). Conclusion. The study's conclusion showed an influence between the type of training method and the level of concentration in improving free throw ability. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA).
