Abstract

Basketball is one of the team sports that has witnessed significant and remarkable development worldwide, due to its fast pace in executing motor skills and defensive and offensive duties, as well as the element of suspense, excitement, and aesthetics in the individual and collective performance of the players. Based on this. Research Problem: The research problem, identified through the researcher's observations and field visits to basketball games for this age group (under 14 years old), revealed a lack of assistive tools used by some coaches to improve reaction speed and shooting accuracy. Training was limited to traditional methods or commonly used equipment. The only standardization, which does not allow for diversity and change, which is one of the important rules in sports training, and the use of modern and varied tools by the researcher is considered a refinement and formation of the skills of that quality in order to find a solution to that problem. The study aimed to identify the effect of special light response speed training (Fit light) on developing motor response and shooting accuracy for advanced basketball players. The research hypothesis is that there are statistically significant differences between the pre-tests and post-tests of the research sample in the speed of motor response and shooting accuracy of 3x3 basketball players, in favor of the post-tests. Therefore, the researcher tested the experimental method as it is one of the most suitable scientific methods for solving the research problem. The research conclusions indicate that the use of the training device for speed of response and accuracy of shooting had a positive effect on the players during training sessions, which contributed to developing the players' shooting accuracy. The researcher recommends that all clubs use the exercises according to the equipment prepared by the researchers, as they have proven effective in developing the response speed of 3x3 basketball players.
