TRX Training Intensity in Male Adolescent Basketball Players

This randomized interventional study aims to compare the effects of low-, moderate-, and high-intensity TRX suspension training on physical performance in male adolescent basketball players. Forty-two athletes aged 15 to 17 years are assigned to one of three TRX training intensity groups and complete an 8-week supervised training program in addition to their regular basketball practice. Outcomes are assessed before and after the intervention and include agility, dual-task agility, balance, upper-extremity muscular endurance, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). The study seeks to determine whether different TRX training intensities produce distinct adaptations in these performance outcomes and to provide evidence for optimizing suspension-training prescription in youth basketball players.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male basketball players aged 15 to 17 years. * Active participation in organized basketball training and competition. * At least 6 years of regular basketball training experience. * Participation in basketball training at least 5 days per week. * Written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian and assent from the participant. Exclusion Criteria: * Serious lower-extremity injury within the previous 6 months. * Diagnosed neurological or orthopedic condition limiting training or testing. * Failure to complete the intervention protocol. * Missing required pre- or post-intervention assessments. * Incomplete testing records.
