The effect of high-intensity interval training on developing strength endurance and the performance of some types of shooting among young basketball players

Abstract

The importance of the research is evident in raising the level of basketball shooting by raising the important requirement in its performance, which is strength endurance. In turn, appropriate training, which is high-intensity intermittent training, can be used, and thus we contribute to developing the level of basketball players. The research problem was: Basketball shooting in its various types is the most important skill because it is the final result of each attack and its failure means loss. Therefore, coaches seek to rely on developing shooting through training for everything the player needs from physical aspects, including strength endurance that helps him throw a ball weighing more than half a kilogram and for an unspecified and varied distance and the length of the match periods on the basket with strength and accuracy at the same time. The aim of the research was to identify the effect of high-intensity intermittent training on the development of strength endurance and the performance of some types of shooting among young basketball players. The experimental approach was chosen, and the sample included the University of Basra basketball team for the 2024-2025 season, and the basketball shooting tests were determined to measure the application of the intermittent training used. Accordingly, the following conclusions were made: High-intensity intermittent training helped raise the level of strength endurance and performance of some types of shooting in youth basketball. It was recommended: Adopting high-intensity intermittent training as it helps raise the level of strength endurance and performance of some types of shooting in youth basketball
