Abstract

Background: The basic idea of this longitudinal study is that a well-structured fitness program will significantly improve these key aspects of physical preparation, which are necessary for sports performance and achieving top results in young basketball players. Methods: 80 basketball athletes were involved in the research. The sample was divided in two groups . The first group was the experimental one (EGB) and it includes 40 younger basketball players, who had four month of kinesiological treatment (three times weekly with one-hour exercises for strength). The second group was the control one (CGB), consisted of 40 basketball players who did standard trainings . The research includes 24 variables in total, of which: 10 variables for assessing morphological characteristics, 10 variables for assessing motor abilities and 4 variables for functional abilities assessment. Multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance (MANKOVA, ANCOVA) was applied to process the results,Results: By applying multivariate analysis of covariance (MANKOVA), in anthropometric variables a statistically significant difference was determined, Wilks’ Lambda is 0.38 and for degrees of freedom df=10/59, it gives statistical significance at the Q=.000 level, the partial effect size is (η2 =0.62), in motor variables Wilks’ Lambda is 0.10 and for degrees of freedom df=10/59, it gives statistical significance at the Q=.000 level, the partial effect size is (η2 =0.90), and in functional skills Wilks’ Lambda is 0.67 and for degrees of freedom df=4/71, it gives statistical significance at the Q=.000 level, the partial effect size is (η2 =0.34).Conclusions: The conclusion of this research clearly indicates that specially created fitness programs have a significant positive influence on the morphological, motoric and functional abilities of basketball players. According to that, their implementation can significantly contribute to good sports results and increase the competitive advantage of athletes.

Key words: fitness program, basketball players, motor abilities
