In the process of sports training, the effort-recovery relationship is a considerable theme to approach. Achieving performance is only possible if, in parallel with the requirements regarding the volume and intensity of the effort, action is taken through methods and measures of recovery, of restoring the biological potential of the athlete. Basketball is a very widespread and appreciated team sport.We assume that the recovery of the athlete can be achieved with the help of physical therapy and its associated methods by combating the generalized fatigue after training at the right time and by the most effective techniques for a quick reintegration of the athlete in the competitive circuit.The research took place on a group of 5 players of the county men's basketball team, in the period of January-March of 2020, în Iași, Romania. For each subject, a record sheet of functional diagnostic data (joint balance, muscle balance, evaluation of painful points but also personalized tests) was completed, both initially and finally.We used goniometry as a method of measuring the amplitudes of movement in the joint, muscle testing to determine muscle strength, comparative measurements of muscle perimeters (knees, legs, thighs) and personalized tests adapted to each athlete,depending on the information received from them. All athletes recorded a significant decrease of the initial pain, a very good increase of mobility in joint amplitude compared to the initial amplitude of the painfull segment and a improvement of muscle strength at maximum capacity.
