Abstract
This study aimed to identify the effect of recovery exercises on improving physical work capacity (PWC170) and reducing lactic acid levels among youth basketball players. The researcher employed an experimental method using two equivalent groups (experimental and control). The research sample consisted of 28 players randomly selected from youth league basketball clubs, which included 10 clubs with a total of 120 players. The findings demonstrated that the training program based on recovery exercises proved effective in improving physical work capacity (PWC170) among youth basketball players compared with the traditional training program. Furthermore, the researcher recommended incorporating recovery exercises as a regular component of daily training sessions for youth basketball players due to their effectiveness in enhancing cardiorespiratory efficiency and reducing muscular fatigue.
