Apart from physical strength and agility, basketball athletes need heightened cognitive function and perception to attain top-level performance.

Basketball subjects its players to extreme high-energy movements such as breakneck sprints, jumps, accelerations, decelerations, and sudden shifts in direction during competition and training which may lead to chronic, constant fatigue.

Cardiovascular strain and heart health are key concerns because a game of basketball requires intense cardiac output.

Joint stress and injuries are key concerns because the rigors of competitive basketball and constant training exact an extensive physical toll on the body.
