Program design principles and implementation approaches
Given the fact that physiological testing in basketball can achieve a range of objectives and given the fact that technology has advanced so dramatically, this specific form of testing has become more rigorous in recent times (Singh & Deol, 2012). Even though there has been such remarkable advancement in technology there still needs to be more critical appraisal of some of the tests which are used for assess basketball skill, as not all of the tests most commonly used are comprehensive in assessing all aspects and all energy systems used that are involved in the sport (Sing & Deol, 2012). A range of physiological factors need to be looked at and examined such as the player's muscle balance, core stability, endurance, cardiovascular fitness, strength, agility, reaction time and a host of other skills.
