Abstract
This review paper aims to investigate various factors and variables that can enhance the playing ability of women basketball players. Basketball is a physically demanding sport that requires a combination of skills, including dribbling, shooting, passing, agility, and endurance. In recent years, the popularity of women's basketball has grown significantly, and there is a need to better understand how different factors can contribute to the improvement of women players' performance. This paper reviews relevant literature and presents a comprehensive analysis of the variables that influence the playing ability of women basketball players, including physical fitness, skill development, psychological factors, and coaching strategies. By examining these variables, we aim to provide insights that can help coaches, players, and sports professionals optimize training programs and strategies for women's basketball.
