Basketball is one of the games that requires high physical and functional abilities. Therefore, coaches and specialists must work to develop these abilities through various means, including hypoxia exercises, which work directly to create the functional variables of players. The importance of research lies in identifying the most essential functional variables resulting from hypoxia exercises. The researcher noticed a weakness and decline in the players' performance during the competition, especially in the last quarter of the match. Therefore, the researcher solved this problem by developing functional variables for basketball players through Hypoxic Training.

The researcher prepared Hypoxic Training, where the number of training units reached 24 training units at a rate of 3 units per week for eight weeks. The control sample was also based on the trainer's training unit, and the time of the training unit for the experimental sample was 20-30 minutes from the main section. Masks were placed on the nose and mouth to prevent The breathing process while performing the exercise.

After applying the program, the results were extracted using appropriate statistical methods, and several conclusions were reached, including hypoxic training that directly affected the development of some functional variables for the members of the experimental sample. The researcher recommended several recommendations, including the interest of coaches in using hypoxic training within the training units for football players in the basket.
