Athlete description The athlete is a 21-year-old male basketball player. The regularity of the current training is about 4 to 6 times per week. It is also important to note that, at present, consistent training is primarily related to basketball. On an almost daily basis, it includes shooting and dribbling training, as well as other exercises mainly intended to increase basketball playing skills. Another important aspect is that the athlete also actively plays basketball regularly. The athlete is playing for the university and local basketball teams, alongside his regular training. The current training program does not involve any particular free weight training or training with weights. However, on the other hand, the athlete had the experience of weight training and weight lifting 1 year ago. The athlete is fully healthy in all aspects. However, it is also important to note that he just had a long season of basketball, which was very demanding in terms of energy for playing. Hence, there should be a special consideration regarding exercise and rest balance in the process of planning the training program and schedules. On one hand, it is important to maintain some of the skills that the athlete has developed during the season. However, on the other hand, the rhythm of the exercises should be less demanding for the athlete to have time to recover and regain energy after the season. For that reason, the intensity of training is no less important than the nature of the particular activities during 12 weeks of the plan, and it should be carefully considered and calculated. The training plan should incorporate the tensions and challenges of the process very gradually. Significantly, the athlete can adapt to the training program without either physical or psychological stress. Another factor important for the athlete is that it would be effective generally for basketball playing to resume training activities with weights. Since he admits that his physical strength has slightly reduced over the last year, it would be beneficial to add some elements for increasing the athlete’s strength to the training plan. In such a way, it would be possible to achieve better results and a longer carrier position in basketball. It would also have positive effects on the athlete’s speed and would improve his overall performance when he is in the position of a guard during the play. Lastly, another priority is to enhance flexibility. Thus, there are no specific medical considerations for the design of the program apart from the need to reduce additional psychical and psychological stress on the athlete after the active season. The major objectives, as well as training preferences of the athlete, should be focused on the overall improvement of aerobic fitness, strength, speed, and flexibility. Details and analysis of the performance tests In the process of preparation for developing a new 12-week training plan, it was important to take several performance tests. Athlete completed 5 different tests related to those components he wants to improve. The objective of taking the tests was to find the details about the current level of the current performance, as well as to estimate which aspects require the most careful consideration. The tests will also allow conducting further analysis of the results after finishing the training program. The current results are to be compared with the results
