It has been shown in the literature that exercise has an effect on cognitive factors. However, there is a limited number of studies examining the relationship between physical performance parameters and cognitive performance in basketball players.

Vertical jump, agility t, reactive agility, 20 m sprint and Y-shaped balance test were applied to all cases as physical performance tests. Right/left discrimination (Recognise application), two-point discrimination, Stroop Test were applied as cognitive performance tests, and the level of pain threshold was evaluated. In the reactive agility test, reactive response speed was evaluated by using visual stimuli, camera and photocell doors. Pearson correlation analysis was used as statistical analysis method.
