The significance of research lies in the design of footwork exercises based on various planning scenarios. This refers to certain complicated attacking capabilities of basketball players under the age of 16. In order to achieve success, solid foundations must be built to overcome changing, fast, and increasing game scenarios with the necessary speed and precision.
Through this research, the researcher aimed to answer several questions, the most significant of which was to determine the skill levels of players in backdoor and L-cut techniques to assess the basic skill levels of young basketball players. The objectives of the research are to develop footwork exercises tailored to various planning positions for some complex offensive skills of these players.
Regarding the research findings, the footwork exercises based on different planning positions had a positive impact on certain complex offensive skills of basketball players under 16 years of age. The researcher employed the experimental method (with two equivalent groups) as a research procedure aligned with the study's objectives. The research community consisted of players from the Sports Cricket Club in basketball, specifically those under 12 years of age.
The participants were randomly separated into two groups (experimental and control), each of which included six players.
As for the conclusions, the effectiveness of footwork exercises based on different planning positions was evident in some of the complex offensive skills of basketball players. The recommendations and suggestions emphasized the importance of training the studied skills (scoring of all kinds, handling of all types, floater shot, receiving the ball near the basket, and offensive booking). Additionally, attention should be given to bio-kinetic abilities and the necessity to diversify the training methods employed by coaches.
