The study relied on using exercises that simulate actual competition conditions on the court to help raise the players' physical and skillful efficiency, increasing their ability to maintain fast and accurate performance throughout the playing periods. It also sought to demonstrate the impact of these training methods on improving the players' capacity to execute complex offensive skills under conditions of exertion and fatigue, reflecting positively on the technical and physical performance level of players in the under-18 category.
