# Enhancing Motor Abilities in Male Basketball Players Through Complex Training: A Systematic Review
## 4 Discussion  
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of complex training on the development of motor abilities in male basketball players. The results of the systematic review clearly show that complex training is an effective method for improving the motor abilities of male basketball players. The practical application of this study is primarily reflected in the fact that basketball coaches, experts in the field of basketball, and sports professionals, in general, will gain new insights into the importance of complex training for developing motor abilities in basketball players. Additionally, this study makes a scientific contribution by providing researchers in the field of basketball with clearer and more recent data on methods for developing motor abilities within the fitness training of basketball players. This research adds to the relatively limited literature on the effects of complex training on the motor abilities of basketball players. Previous studies have primarily focused on the effects of complex training on explosive strength in basketball players. This research, however, provides new information on how complex training affects muscle strength, isometric muscle force, speed, agility, endurance, sprint, shoulder angular velocity, and shooting ability, demonstrating positive effects on these abilities. As previously mentioned, most studies have examined the explosive strength of basketball players in the form of vertical jumps, and positive impacts have been confirmed. The positive effects of complex training on the explosive strength of the lower extremities are supported by several studies [7, 13, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 33, 35, 36], as well as on the explosive strength of the upper extremities (MBT, SA) [7, 31]. [PERSON] and associates [33] show that both types of training, complex and resistance (high-low intensity and high-low number of exercise repetitions), yield similar results in improving vertical jump height. However, it should be noted that this study lasted only 6 weeks. Therefore, a combination of exercises with medium load (60-75% IRM), high load (75-85% IRM), and submaximal load (85-95% IRM) can be recommended in basketball, and it primarily depends on the objective, duration, recovery period, volume, and intensity of basketball training. It would be beneficial to conduct a similar study over a 10-week period to achieve more precise and valid results, as most studies (seven studies) applied a complex training method for 10 weeks, with sessions occurring twice per week. Although a large number of included studies confirmed the positive influence of complex training on explosive strength, one study showed the opposite results [37]. [PERSON] and associates [38] indicate the partially positive effects of complex training on explosive strength, where the results showed positive effects on CMJSL, while there was no effect on CMJ. Also, the results of the systematic review cannot confirm with certainty the positive effects of complex training on COD in basketball players because two studies did not confirm positive effects [37, 38]. The mentioned studies that obtained different results compared to the other studies included in this systematic review will be discussed in more detail later in this chapter. The authors of this systematic review clearly emphasized in the introduction that the intensity and volume of complex training are very important factors. It should be said that the studies included in Table 2 applied training
