Limitations
weakness of the present study
Despite its great novelty, our study has some limitations that warrant further investigations. The present investigation explored these two training methods only in professional basketball male players. Maybe it will be interesting to explore other competitive levels and age groups. One other weakness of the present study is that we did not measure muscle strength measures but have assessed proxies to strength as vertical jumping. Regarding this last’s assessment, we calculated only jump height, which is not that sensitive to detect changes of performance featuring this exercise. Overall, future studies are encouraged to explore different strength measures by using more specific equipment and tests.
