The Effect of Using Circuit Training on Developing Specific Endurance and Accuracy in Jump Shooting in Basketball

Abstract

Returning to the topic of team basketball, it's essential to possess high levels of physical and technical skills. The game's tactics range from sustained effort to precise skills like shooting. Key elements of physical fitness include the ability to execute high-speed European-style plays and develop specific skills. The training disc is a specific training system and method based on performance requirements and rules derived from a study analyzing the efficiency of the training used, as well as from the adaptation processes related to it, where this knowledge is canceled in the focus on raising the condition and selecting and developing athletic competencies. This leads to the research problem of: What is the effect of using circuit training on developing specific endurance and shooting accuracy in basketball players? Research objectives: To develop a training program using circuit training. To identify the effect of this method on developing specific endurance in basketball players. To identify its effect on improving shooting accuracy in basketball. Research Methodology: The researcher used an experimental design with a single group and pre- and post-tests to suit the nature of the problem. Research community and sample: The research community was selected using the purposive method of a single group with pre- and post-tests. The research sample included basketball players, numbering (12) players, aged (15-17 years). Results: There were statistically significant differences between pre- and post-tests, in favor of post-test, in both specific endurance and jump shooting accuracy among basketball players. This indicates that circuit training is an effective method for developing specific endurance and jump shooting accuracy in basketball.
