What is it about?
The aim of this study was to define the morpho-functional variables that best predict the explosive power of the lower extremities of basketball players of Kosova.

Why is it important?
The average works intensity of basketball game is above 80% of VO2max, respectively above 85% of maximal heart rate. This combination of energy requirements is often referred to as an integration of energy supply systems on a continuum over time. Many factors contribute to the performance of the basketball athlete. This includes a combination of technical and tactical abilities that are duties of coaching staff, as well as a high degree of physical fitness that is more relevant for sports medicine and exercise trained staff.
Perspectives
According to the results of this study, one can conclude that the basketball players with the higher values of the body volume - especially volume of thighs, with the balanced muscles and the core stability, as well with low rate of the heart frequency during the resting period, will have the higher explosive power of the lower extremities that is very important for the basketball game. So, it may be suggested that the conditional coaches, during the training with the young basketball players, should pay more attention to develop these morphometrical variables.
