Basketball is a world renowned sport, which is fun and inclusive. The objective is to shoot an orbicular ball, into a hoop situated several meters off the ground, in 4 consecutive 8 minute sessions. Basketball is suitable for all ages, ethnic background, and gender (Better Health Channels 2013) . However, playing the sport at a professional level generally consists of individuals who possess a taller/slimmer body physique and have exceptional ball control. In a game of basketball a team of five players (active on the court at all times), whom all of which must excel in the following fitness components: Agility, Muscular Strength, Power, Speed and Aerobic Endurance. There are also several movements essential to succeed in basketball such as: shooting, passing, ball-handling and dribbling (Olberding 2011) (ihoops.com 2012). All of these fundamental skills are used to play basketball, at the highest level of achievement for my assessment. This essay will address the body systems and fitness components essential to basketball and will analyse my personal success in gameplay.
Aerobic capacity is imperative to a successful basketball game play merely because it is the foundation block in which all other fitness components depend (Glenn Amezdroz 2012). During gameplay there is a large amount running for long periods of time. Aerobic capacity is the keys to fitness in basketball. While a basketball player needs to be aerobically fit, running is not the only important skill. To succeed in basketball there must be a variety of fitness components in order to improve. When we exercise we need to supply our blood with enough oxygen to cater for all muscle groups; this is the process of the respiratory system. As we inhale we take in oxygen, which is then delivered to our blood, and when we exhale carbon dioxide is ejected into the atmosphere. This exchange of gases is the respiratory system 's means of getting oxygen to the blood
