# Enhancing Motor Abilities in Male Basketball Players Through Complex Training: A Systematic Review
## 3 Results
### Characteristics of the Studies  
The total number of participants included in this systematic review was 418 (\(n=418\)). In all studies, the sample consisted of male basketball players, regardless of age and competitive level. Most studies investigated explosive strength (13 studies), as well as

The study by [PERSON] and [PERSON] [22] was the only one with a single experimental group. By analyzing the research summarized in Table 2, we can see the duration and frequency of the applied complex training programs: 10 weeks (2\(\times\) per week, 6 studies) [7; 13; 27; 28; 29; 30]; 10 weeks (3\(\times\) per week, one study) [31]; 12 weeks (2\(\times\) per week, three studies) [21; 22; 23]; 6 weeks (2\(\times\) per week, three studies) [33; 34; 35]; 8 weeks (2\(\times\) per week, two studies) [36; 37]. We can see that complex training was most often applied for 10 weeks (7 studies). The frequency of training in all included studies was two times per week, except for the study by [PERSON] and associates [31], which had a training frequency of three times per week. The data extracted from the selected studies included the following: first author and year of publication, participants, the aim of the research, measuring instruments, statistical analysis, and key findings (see Table 2). \begin{table}
