Table 4: _Cont._programs, the intensity of which was in the range (40-100% 1 RM), that is, most of the included studies applied complex training (60-95% 1 RM) [7; 13; 21; 22; 27; 28; 30; 31; 32; 33; 34; 35; 36; 37; 38]. The importance of complex training in basketball is also supported by [PERSON] and associates [35], who found that complex training positively affects dynamic strength (HS, HT) without impairing sprint (S10m) and jump performance (SLJ), even without the use of heavy loads (>85% 1 RM). [PERSON] and associates [36] also confirm the positive effects of resistance training within complex training on maximum strength (BS), as well as on horizontal and vertical jumps (CMJ, SJ, SLJ). This suggests that conditioning coaches can use complex training to counteract strength losses during the basketball season. Similar findings were reported by [PERSON] and associates [30], who demonstrated that complex training positively affects the development of the maximum isometric muscle force (MIF, IES). In addition to its positive impact on explosive strength, isometric muscle force, muscle strength, and shooting ability [31], complex training also enhances agility (TTEST, HEX, ILIN, LAD) and sprinting (10\(\times\)5 mST, S15m, S20m) [21; 22; 32], as well as aerobic endurance (AET) [23]. However, [PERSON] and associates [37] found that complex training over an 8-week period does not improve COD (SRT) performance. Similar results were observed in a study by [PERSON] and associates [38], which showed that complex training (combining back squats and drop jumps, as well as split squats and depth jumps to a lateral hop) had no effect on explosive strength (CMJ) or COD (MATT) in basketball players. The authors suggest that even exercises with similar movement patterns can cause excessive fatigue, potentially explaining these results. However, a systematic review by [PERSON] and associates [18] indicates the opposite findings, demonstrating positive effects on explosive strength and COD. Thus, further studies are needed to investigate the effects of complex training on explosive strength and COD in basketball players. Numerous studies included in this systematic review used samples consisting of two experimental groups that applied and compared pyometric and complex training. [PERSON] and associates [13] found no difference in the effectiveness of vertical jump (VJ) performance between pyometric and complex training, whereas [PERSON] [29] reported opposite results, showing that complex training yields better results in VJ compared to pyometric training. It is also worth noting that neither training program caused changes in morphological characteristics (BH, BM, SFT), highlighting the need for more recent research to determine the effectiveness of these training programs in reducing body fat and body mass among young basketball players [13].
