Abstract : Basketball is a dynamic sport characterized by short bursts of high - intensity activity, including jumping, sprinting, and rapid directional changes. These actions depend heavily on an athlete’ s anaerobic power, which refers to the body' s ability to generate force without relying on oxygen. Repeated sprint performance, another critical component of basketball, reflects an athlete’ s ability to perform multiple sprints with minimal rest in between. This capacity determines how effectively players can maintain high performance throughout a game. Researchers have increasingly focused on understanding how anaerobic training contributes to performance enhancement in basketball. For example, Arede et al. (2025) emphasized that the intermittent and high - intensity nature of basketball makes anaerobic training indispensable. The importance of these physical attributes becomes evident in competitive matches where endurance and explosive power often separate elite players from the rest. Strengthening these aspects not only boosts athletic performance but also reduces injury risk. Hence, integrating anaerobic and sprint - specific conditioning in training routines is critical for basketball athletes.

Keywords : This Systematic Approach Fosters Optimal Performance Development and Injury Prevention.

Basketball is a dynamic sport characterized by short bursts of high - intensity activity, including jumping, sprinting, and rapid directional changes. These actions depend heavily on an athlete’ s anaerobic power, which refers to the body' s ability to generate force without relying on oxygen. Repeated sprint performance, another critical component of basketball, reflects an athlete’ s ability to perform multiple sprints with minimal rest in between. This capacity determines how effectively players can maintain high performance throughout a game. Researchers have increasingly focused on understanding how anaerobic training contributes to performance enhancement in basketball. For example, Arede et al. (2025) emphasized that the intermittent and high - intensity nature of basketball makes anaerobic training indispensable. The importance of these physical attributes becomes evident in competitive matches where endurance and explosive power often separate elite players from the rest. Strengthening these aspects not only boosts athletic performance but also reduces injury risk. Hence, integrating anaerobic and sprint - specific conditioning in training routines is critical for basketball athletes.
