Description
Tüfekçi and co-authors test a six-week sprint program built around direction changes in young basketball players in this 2026 trial. Basketball demands repeated sprints, jumps, and sharp cuts. Twenty male under-19 players were split evenly into training and control groups.
The training group added change-of-direction repeated sprints three times a week to normal practice. Tests before and after covered the countermovement jump, squat jump, 30-meter sprint, and a T-test of agility. The training group improved significantly on all four measures within itself. Against controls, the jump gains were clearly better, while sprint and agility edges did not reach significance. Coaches gain most, it seems, in explosive power.
