In order to achieve the best sports results, a long-term training process is required that should be orderly and purposefully directed towards the goal set. Each year of work should be divided into different training phases, each with its unique goals. This is essential to achieve a targeted adaptation of the body to the effort and at a specific time, during the main competitions of the year, to achieve the best results. These goals are achieved by the athlete through training means, whose rational organization and selection are of crucial importance for the effectiveness of the training process.

Training instruments, which means a suitcase with work instruments
A training programme is a set of decisions, goals and means of their implementation... The latter include, among other things, training instruments... They can be likened to work instruments in a specialist's tool case, such as a hydraulic engineer, electrician or other expert... Such an expert only keeps in their case those instruments that enable them to carry out their tasks in a professional manner and are useful at the time of performing the work... Similarly, training measures are used for a specific purpose... A sportsperson applies them in order to achieve a specific goal... This goal is determined by the periodization of training, i.e. its phase... Therefore, a sportsperson must have in their tool case only those training instruments that are useful in a given period... In the next training period, some of them are exchanged, new ones are added and so the sportsperson progresses in a planned manner, preparing the body for ever higher loads, specific efforts and skills... A good training programme determines the time of commencing individual undertakings for the development of physical fitness, and thus also the time of application of specific training instruments.

Allocation of training resources
In the theory and methodology of training, the classification of training resources has been adopted due to their impact on the energy mechanisms of the system and due to the information area with respect to the characteristics of the start-up efforts. The first classification takes into account efforts to maintain the level of oxygen efficiency; oxygen, mixed oxygen, oxygen-free and non-oxygenic, and specific, anabolic acid enhancers. The second classification distinguishes three categories: general, targeted, and special resources. However, both classifications must coexist. Each training resource always affects specific energy mechanisms and always has an informational potential. To skillfully handle training resources, it is necessary to know which ones to apply in the preparatory phase and which ones in the start-up phase of the annual training cycle. It is necessary to know which resources to consider in the early stages of a career and which to reserve for the period of achieving the peak capabilities of the body. To navigate this process well, methods of classifying this specific \"bag of work tools\" of an athlete are required.

The establishment of unique methods
Unique methods form an exceptional set of functional, performance and motoric properties used in a start-up exercise. Each movement possesses its own visible structure as well as an internal one, which consists of processes occurring in the body that ensure the execution of the movement. Unique methods aim to activate these structures according to the planned manifestation of the start-up effort. The establishment of unique training methods appears to be a simple task. It suffices to accurately determine the start-up effort, which will be a source of information about unique exercises. The athlete will be able to apply them in greater degree in the pre-start and start phases of the annual training cycle. In a long-term plan, he will be able to gradually resort to them by first utilizing the beneficial effect of methods with comprehensive and targeted impact.

Factors influencing the starting effort and specific training methods
When examining the manner in which the sport discipline is practiced for the purpose of determining its training methods, it is important to consider the involvement of the individual energy mechanisms in the starting effort, its duration, and the recovery periods during competitions. It is also important to take into account the type of movement habits, the manner and intricacy of the movement performed, the range of motion, the resistance to be overcome, and the category of muscle work. Information should also be considered regarding the most active muscle groups and the function of the supporting, stabilizing muscles. Each attempt at starting effort has its own character - it is the athlete himself with his predispositions, physical characteristics and build, age, and gender. In formulating specific training methods, the individuality of the athlete should also be taken into account.

Acquiring specialized training equipment
A basketball game lasts around 75 minutes. It is a great effort for the players, which seems to be long-lasting. The changes made by a coach result in an average player's playing time of 15-20 minutes, while the best players can stay on the court for 25-35 minutes. Upon closer inspection of the loads that players are subjected to during the game, we can see that they perform a very large number of dynamic, intense, and short-lived movements that last only 2-6 seconds. These movements can include freeing the ball, dribbling, defense, or attack. Between these movements, there are moments of rest, relaxation, and relief. The high pace of the game, requiring frequent movements with only small breaks, will greatly stimulate the mechanisms of energy supply via the anaerobic, phosphagen, and glycolytic pathways. Specialized training means for basketball players will therefore be based on technical and tactical actions carried out mainly with the participation of these systems.

Strategy for applying special measures in the multiannual cycle
In every training year, the resources of special training means are analyzed, repeated, modified, and supplemented to bring benefits in the form of progress in the athlete's development. As these means have the greatest potential for enhancing results, they should not be treated too leniently. Excessive utilization of special means can lead to the loss of their efficacy and the exhaustion of their potential to influence the sporting standard.
