Objective: Identify the effect of high-intensity interval training on developing some bio-kinetic abilities, Electromyography (EMG), and accuracy of layup performance in basketball, and the researchers hypothesized that high-intensity interval training has a positive effect on developing some bio-kinetic abilities, Electromyography (EMG), and accuracy of layup performance in basketball. Research methodology: The researchers adopted an individual experimental group design with pre- and post-measurements. The training units were implemented over a period of (6) weeks, at a rate of (3) training units per week, lasting (90) minutes. This resulted in total of (18) educational units. Results: Significant differences were found between the pre- and post-measurements of some bio-kinetic abilities, Electromyography (EMG), and the accuracy of basketball layup, in favor of the post-measurements and the experimental group. The researchers attribute these differences to the effectiveness of the HIIT method, as its use in training units and at high training intensities in a standardized and scientific manner led to an improvement in bio-kinetic abilities. Conclusions: include the introduction of the high-intensity interval training method contributed effectively and positively to the development of some bio-kinetic abilities, Electromyography (EMG), and the accuracy of the basketball shooting performance of the experimental group members. The experimental group also showed significant superiority in the dimensional measurements of some bio-kinetic abilities, Electromyography (EMG), and the accuracy of the basketball shooting performance.
