The aim of this study is to examine the effects of quick strength training method on basketball players’ respiratory functions, heart rate, and blood pressure.The sample of this study includes 15 male basketball players’ who participate in training at least 3 days in a week, 2 hours, are 15,00  1.46 year age averages, 158,20  9.62 cm height average, 49,8011.39 kg bodyweight. Before and after participating in quick strength training program, these volunteer basketball player participants’ heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), respiratory rate (RR), forced expiratory volume (FEV), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) have been examined. The researchers have found that the participant basketball players’ respiratory rate, heart rate (p<0.01), have been dramatically increased after participating in circuit training method. On the other hand, the participant basketball players’ forced expiratory volume, peak expiratory flow rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure have not been changes after participating in circuit training method.
