The article presents the results of studying the impact of classes in the school section of basketball on the general physical fitness of adolescents 14-15 years old. An assessment of the annual dynamics of the level of general physical fitness of students showed the significant effectiveness of such classes for the development of high-speed and high-speed power abilities and their insufficient impact on the level of general endurance of schoolchildren.
