Training methods and evaluation of basketball players’ agility quality: A systematic review
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: Agility refers to the technical skills and abilities required by athletes to quickly react and adjust direction, speed, or movement patterns when faced with stimuli. This article provides a comprehensive review and evaluation of agility training methods for basketball players, offering valuable insights and references for scientifically enhancing their agility training. METHOD: Research literature published from January 1, 2000, to April 1, 2023, was searched in the Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed, and EBSCO databases with basketball, agility, and training as keywords. A total of 489 articles were initially identified. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, including the removal of duplicate articles, non-English publications, and conference papers, a total of 463 articles were excluded. Ultimately, 26 articles that met the specified criteria were included for analysis in this study. The researchers utilized the PEDro quality evaluation screening scoring system to assess the quality of the final included literature. RESULT: 26 articles were included, with an average quality evaluation score of 4.5 points (3-7 points). Among them, the average training time for reaction ability (5 articles) is 5 weeks (ranging from 3 to 8 weeks), involving a total of 150 participantsa，nd the agility quality is improved by 7.2 %-19 %; The average training time for speed quality (5 articles) is 6 weeks (ranging from 4 to 8 weeks), involving a total of 151 participants，and the agility quality is improved by 1.2 %-14.4 %; The average training time for strength quality (4 articles) is 6 weeks (ranging from 4 to 8 weeks), involving a total of 57 participants， and the agility quality is improved by 1.41 %-10.33 %; The average training time for plyometrics (12 articles) is 6 weeks (ranging from 1 to 8 weeks), involving a total of 195 participants，with an increase in agility by 2.34 %-6.79 %. CONCLUSION: (1) The effect of simple reaction ability, speed, and strength training on improving the agility quality of basketball players is limited. In the actual process, the above training methods need to be combined to maximize the training effect, such as diversified speed training combined with different forms of reaction ability, strength training, etc. (2) Plyometric training has a high intensity of muscle stimulation, which can promote the agility quality of basketball players by improving the joint stability, neuromuscular adaptability as well as coordination and consistency between muscles. However, young basketball players must carefully consider exercise mode, load intensity, and other factors when implementing plyometric training.

The present study extends literature that ties agility and reaction time to perceptual-cognitive factors and sport-specific stimuli by showing that a brief, structured psychological intervention can enhance these motor outcomes alongside mental-health indicators.
“The present study extends literature that ties agility and reaction time to perceptual–cognitive factors and sport-specific stimuli [3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,15,68] by showing that a brief, structured psychological intervention can enhance these motor outcomes alongside mental-health indicators.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
