Abstract
The Basic Skills Challenge in basketball is one of the sports competitions introduced recently. It relies on the individual skills of the players and their speed of performance, along with high accuracy and concentration throughout performing those skills. Therefore, it requires special endurance to perform those skills efficiently and quickly. The importance of the study is highlighted through utilizing CrossFit exercises in developing performance endurance, which helps players continue performing various skills and their repetitions throughout the match. The researchers found that there is a decrease in performance endurance from time to time during the competition or in its final minutes. This puts the players in a challenging situation where they are required to perform high-level combined physical and skillful work in the face of decreased performance endurance. Therefore, the researchers prepared CrossFit exercises that provide an important incentive for continuity in performance and resistance to fatigue. They used the experimental method with pre and post-tests for both the experimental and control groups to suit the nature of the research. The research population was determined from the players of the Electrical Industries Sports Club for the 2023 sports season, totaling 14 players. The research sample was selected through a comprehensive enumeration method and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, with each group consisting of 7 players. The CrossFit training program was applied for eight weeks, with three training sessions per week. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to process the results. The researchers concluded that CrossFit exercises have a positive effect on developing performance endurance for the players in the Basic Skills Challenge basketball competition. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health).
