Experts argue that participation in youth sports such as basketball is a healthy activity for youngsters [Although engagement in youth sports may contribute to the development of PL, early specialisation (which is defined as year-round participation and competition within a single sport [Despite the purported issues relating to early specialisation, some researchers argue that these issues are overly simplistic [In addition to enhancing athletic capabilities in youth athletes, the efficacy of NMT programmes may also relate to the variability of movement patterns presented within such programmes. Accordingly, the performance of varied movement patterns reduces the persistent mechanical stress on the same soft-tissue structures through repeated exposure to SSSs, while concomitantly developing a greater breadth of FMS [Previously, parkour has been proposed as an activity to develop FMS and athletic capabilities that can be transferred to SSS [
