In the prescription of training programs aimed at basketball players, periodization is a tool of crucial importance. Knowing how to properly periodize the biomotor capabilities inherent in a sport is a skill that the strength and conditioning coach needs to develop. There are different models of periodization available in the scientific literature. Identifying the most appropriate periodization model and implementing it in the phases of the season is a complex task. In conjunction with periodization, we have systematic control of training loads that, if well distributed
and monitored, can guide the team's athletic performance. In this framework of processes, based on relevant scientific concepts and research, this presentation discusses how physical fitness and sports form can be adequately improved in basketball players.
