Abstract
Background. This study focuses on the optimization of physical and technical capacities through coordination exercise programs. Recognizing the critical role of coordination skills in basketball performance, our research employs precise methods to unveil insights into the impact of these programs on basketball athletes.
Aims. The aim of the study is to develop and implement an exercise program that incorporates coordination-driven systems, with the goal of achieving superior indices of technical proficiency.
Methods. The research included a total of 19 female athletes, all belonging to a single group, the experimental group. This group consisted of athletes aged between 10-12 years old. The study took place over a period of 2 months, during which 4 assessments were conducted to track the progression of the athletes’ performance of shots and the efficiency of their jumps in relation to shooting, which was monitored using Vert sensors.
Results. The subjects showed progress following the implementation of the program across all four coordination tests. Regarding the first coordination test, the number of successful throws increased by 3.157; in the second test, there was an increase of 3.473; for the third test, there was an increase of 2.894, while in the final test, a notable progress of 16.157 successful executions was recorded.
Conclusions. The obtained data lead us to conclusions suggesting that training activities in basketball can be enhanced through the implementation of a training program that includes coordination exercises, especially in relation to the effectiveness of jump execution.
