While there have been numerous studies examining physical conditions in sports, there remains a scarcity of research on the physical conditions required for team sports that involve playing position assignments, particularly the five positions in basketball. Although physical conditioning in basketball has been studied with regards to playing positions, the majority of research has focused on the traditional three positions of guard, forward, and center. Only limited research has been conducted on the physical requirements of the five distinct playing positions, including Point guard, Shooting guard, Small forward, Small forward, and Center. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in physical conditioning between each of the five basketball playing positions. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive design with a retrospective causal comparative or ex-post facto design. The sample included 20 basketball athletes from 27 regencies and cities in West Java. The data were analyzed using SPSS software with a one-way ANOVA test. The results revealed significant differences in the physical conditioning of each basketball athlete based on their playing position. © JPES.
