This article presents a comprehensive conceptual framework for micro-dosing as a resistance training strategy in team sports, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects relevant to modern sport performance environments. Introduction: Why the Research Was Conducted The research was driven by the rising popularity and emerging debate among strength and conditioning professionals about the use and definition of micro-dosing in resistance training for sport performance. Th

This study provides a valuable contribution to the field of sport science by quantifying external load measures across a competitive high school basketball season, a population that has been underrepresented in the existing literature. The authors address a critical gap by examining how external load metrics—such as Player Load, jumps, and explosive movements—relate to basketball performance and how these demands differ between starters and nonstarters, as well as across game
