Body composition allows for revealing the characteristics of an athlete according to competitive demands. Therefore, its relationship with explosive strength (ES) and agility in basketball is relevant due to the actions of this type of sport. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between body composition, ES, and agility in professional basketball players. The sample consisted of 18 players (age 23.9 ± 3.3 years old, weight 87.9 ± 11.7 kg, height 188.8 ± 9.9 cm, muscle mass 46.5 ± 4.8 kg, bone mass 13.2 ± 1.8 kg, fat percentage 14.1 ± 3.6%), in which body composition, the ES through the height, and the power of the jump “squat jump” (SJ), as well as the countermovement jump (CMJ) were evaluated. For its part, agility was measured through the Illinois test. A significant relationship was found between fat percentage and CMJ height (r = -.58; p, <.05). Similarly, a relationship was found between muscle mass and power of the SJ (r = .87; p, <.01), as well as with the CMJ (r = .79; p, <.01). Additionally, a relationship was found between the Illinois test and the power of the SJ (r = .64; p, <.05). In conclusion, there is a relationship between body composition, ES, and agility, which must be taken into account for its control and training in basketball at a professional level.
Keywords: Basketball, muscle mass, fat percentage, sports performance, professional competition.
