Brief summary
Basketball has gained worldwide popularity and fascinated players and spectators with its dynamic characteristics as a team sport. This kind of sport is multifaceted that requires well-developed physical fitness to be played successfully. Many authors have suggested that strength, power, agility, and speed are important performance related physical components for elite basketball players. The physical components require that fitness and conditioning attributes of basketball players are well developed to negate the limiting aspect of sport performance. Moreover, functional training is becoming increasingly popular within the fitness industry and has been considered to be a better alternative than traditional training methods for improving various measures of performance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether functional training has effects on performance and related various physical components of basketball players.
