Abstract

Speed, Agility, and Quickness (SAQ) training is widely recognized as an effective approach to improve athletic performance in basketball, a sport requiring rapid movement, directional changes, and cardiovascular efficiency. Previous research has demonstrated that SAQ training significantly enhances speed, agility, and skill performance with statistically significant outcomes (p < 0.05) across multiple variables (Sun et al., 2025; Moselhy, 2020). Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of SAQ training on selected physical abilities, basketball skills, and functional heart variables, as well as to develop a tailored training program. An experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was used, involving 15 basketball players aged 17–18 years from Hit Sport Club. A preliminary study with 5 players was conducted to validate the procedures. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests. The results showed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in all variables. Physical performance increased, with transitional speed improving by 21.60% and agility by 24.06%. Skill performance also improved, including shooting accuracy (26.85%) and lay-up performance (41.86%). Functional heart variables demonstrated positive adaptations, including exercise heart rate (24.50%), resting heart rate (4.05%), and post-exercise heart rate (46.44%), consistent with previous findings (Lee et al., 2024; Si et al., 2025). In conclusion, SAQ training effectively enhances physical fitness, basketball skills, and cardiovascular efficiency, supporting its inclusion in modern basketball training programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of a proposed training curriculum using functional training exercises on developing selected physical, skill, and cardiovascular functional abilities in basketball players aged 17–18 years. The sample consisted of 15 club players following the 2023/2024 season. An exploratory experiment was conducted on 5 players to establish the scientific basis of the tests, while the main experiment involved 10 players using a one-group experimental design with pre- and post-tests. The researcher designed and implemented a functional training-based curriculum tailored to the experimental group. Results showed significant improvements in all studied variables in favor of the post-test. Physical abilities improved notably, with arm speed-strength increasing by 35.45% and leg speed-strength by 43.84%. Skill performance also showed progress, with chest pass improving by 41.44% and layup shooting by 47.09%. In terms of cardiovascular function, heart rate (H.R.) improved by 24.50%, and stroke volume (S.V.) increased by 27.69%. These findings indicate that functional training exercises effectively enhance physical fitness, basketball skills, and cardiovascular efficiency in young players.
