This research aims to determine the effect of unified direction training (UDT) and multi direction training (MDT) on various physical abilities (arms power, legs power, static and dynamic balance, agility, trunk and thigh flexibility) in basketball. Furthermore, identifying differences between the effect of both training protocols on (arms power, legs power, static and dynamic balance, agility, trunk and thigh flexibility) in basketball. The researchers used experimental approach on a sample of twenty basketball players, assigned into two groups, experimental training group with UDT (n = 10) and experimental group with MDT (n = 10), participated in the same weekly basketball training programme, which included three sessions (90 min each). Besides, the UDT and MDT conducted 24 experimental sessions, this lasted 3 days per week for 8 weeks. Pretests and posttests were performed for both groups in arms power, legs power, static and dynamic balance, agility, trunk and thigh flexibility. Improvement percent was obtained for both groups. Results: There are statistically significant differences between posttests for both groups: (UDT) and (MDT) in physical abilities in basketball but with higher increase for MDT group. There is an increase of (MDT) compared with (UDT) posttests improvement percent in physical abilities in basketball.
