Abstract
Flexibility is one of the key factors to improve performance in competition and training, especially in basketball because basketball requires players to have high speed, continuous change of direction and the ability to handle situations quickly. Good flexibility improves performance and helps reduce the risk of injury during competition. Although basketball is a popular sport in physical education programs at high school and university levels, there has not been much in-depth research to optimize flexibility for learners, especially for female trainees. This study was conducted to survey female basketball students, propose an effective training system, and enhance their flexibility. The project used the pedagogical experimental method on a group of female cohort-16 students at University of Phan Thiet who registered to study basketball. Python tools analyzed the collected data, selecting and applying appropriate exercises to enhance the flexibility of female students.
