About this study

A basketball player must have good physical condition to contribute to the team. In this physical condition, especially cardiorespiratory endurance (aerobic and anaerobic capacity), agility, muscle endurance and strength are important for basketball.

Revealing the interaction of aerobic capacity, which is critical for basketball, with other physical fitness components such as agility, core muscle endurance and peripheral muscle strength may shed light on the shaping of basketball players' exercise programs.
