This study focuses on different training methods for strength development in male basketball players aged 12-14. The effects of training methods on different shooting performances were investigated. Tests were made according to their biomotor skills and physically skills. Statistical methods were applied. Analyzes were made using the SPSS 26.0 program and the results were evaluated. The distribution of the data was examined by performing normalization tests. tests were applied according to the number of participants. The statistical method was determined according to the distribution types of the data. T-test and ANOVA (One Way Analysis of Variance) test, which are parametric tests in normal distribution, were designed. Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis tests, which are non-parametric tests, were also designed for non-normal distributions. T-test, Wilcoxon or Mann Whitney-U tests were used when two independent variables were examined, and ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for more than two independent variables. For the statistical significance level, p<0.05 was accepted. A confidence level of 95% was determined. The results are interpreted in general. When the study group was examined, strength training was applied. It has been observed that there are changes in shooting performance and some skills, especially in male basketball players at the age of 14, and there are also changes in their anthropometric skills. It was observed that there were significant differences in the positive direction. As a result; It can be said that sports activities applied to basketball players between the ages of 12-14 are effective in the development of shooting performance and skill characteristics.
