The Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Exercises on Fast Attacks in Basketball (Professional Level)

Abstract

This research aimed to develop a set of exercises using the High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) method for advanced basketball players and to identify the effect of these HIIT exercises on different types of fast attacks in basketball (advanced level). The researcher employed a single-group experimental design with pre- and post-testing. The research sample consisted of twelve advanced basketball players specializing in air defense. The researcher selected a set of tests focusing on different types of fast attacks and concluded that HIIT exercises were effective in developing advanced basketball fast attacks. The researcher recommends using HIIT exercises to improve physical abilities and fast attack skills in basketball and suggests the possibility of conducting similar research using HIIT in other sports
