The research hypothesized that the experimental group had an advantage in developing explosive power and 3-point shooting skills among basketball players. As for the research methodology, the researchers used a two-group design with equivalent experimental and control groups. The research sample included (14 players), who were players from the Maysan Governorate team. As for the conclusions, the plank exercises had a good effect on development. Explosive power and 3-point shooting in basketball among the experimental group and recommendations to include (plank) drills in the training units for all other referees as well as other training categories.
