Popis: BACKGROUND The development of the norm of functional variables of fitness as a national database was considered the most important criterion of success in basketball. The current study aims to investigate the performance and skill-related determinants of physical fitness. METHODS 43 elite basketball players (including 14 Center, 15 Forward and 14 Guard players) participated in this cross-sectional study. The biomechanical parameters of the vertical jump and on-court tests including 20-meter dash, 4×9m agility, 10×20 m shuttle run, repeated side hop, were evaluated. The values of these parameters were compared between different posts using MANOVA and Tukey Post hoc tests in SPSS software (ρ≤0.05). RESULTS The norm of physical fitness parameters was obtained by determining the percentage points of 0-10%, 10-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, 75-90% and 90-100%. Furthermore, peak vertical jump velocity and relative jump power were significantly higher in the guards and forwards compared to the centers (p=0.007 and p=0.027, respectively). The forwards showed significantly higher mean agility, repeated shuttle running and EUR compared to the centers (P
