Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between physiological parameters and the observed differences in 3-point jump shot release time, ball’s entry angle into the hoop, and shooting accuracy between the POST and PRE conditions within the studied participant sample (n = 38).

* Significant correlation at p < 0.05. Abbreviations: BEST, basketball exercise simulation test; EA, entry angle into the hoop; HR, mean heart rate during the BEST; HR_max, maximum heart rate; n, sample size of the study; POST, condition after the BEST; PRE, condition prior to the BEST; RT, jump shot release time; SSR, shooting success rate; SSs, successful shots; $\dot{\mathrm{V}}$O_2max, maximum oxygen uptake; VT₂, second ventilatory threshold.
