Brief Summary

The aim of the study was to compare the professional basketball players and sedentary controls in terms of respiratory function and physical fitness parameters and to investigate the relationship between respiratory function and physical fitness parameters in basketball players.

Detailed Description

Basketball is one of the most common team sports in the world, where aerobic and anaerobic power is used together and taking into account the rising number of participants in non-professional leagues, it is especially popular among female athletes from various countries . Basketball players' muscular strength and endurance, power, speed, agility and physical properties such as reaction time are the main factors underlying the performance. In addition to this, respiratory functions are important as well as physical properties in basketball. Because during the maximal exercise, the blood flow to the inspiratory and expiratory muscles accounts for 15% of the total oxygen cost of the exercise. Assessment of the motor skills and physical characteristics of basketball players is very important for the positioning of the player, performance analysis and monitoring the effectiveness of the training. There are many studies examining the physical fitness characteristics of basketball players.However, no study evaluating respiratory muscle strength and endurance in female basketball players was found in the literature.therefore, this study was planned.
