Apstrakt: 
Basketball as a sports activity has evolved over its long history from an alternative game to a highly selective
sport in which success is reserved exclusively for the most talented and capable individuals. The aim of the research was to
examine the diff erences in the exertion of force produced on a surface for the dominant and non-dominant leg in basketball
players of diff erent levels of competition. The research was conducted on a sample of 33 subjects of senior age from three
levels of basketball competition in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). Exertion of the force exercised during
the jump on a surface was obtained using the Gyko System and Opto Jump. The “Single leg jump” test procedure was
used. It is concluded that 30-50% of the variables have a statistically signifi cant diff erence, which partially indicates the
existence of statistically signifi cant diff erences in the exertion of force in the dominant and non-dominant leg. The biggest
diff erence in the dominant and non-dominant leg was detected in subjects of the A1 League (3 out of 6 variables). The
smallest diff erence was detected in the subjects of the A2 League (no statistically signifi cant diff erence was detected in any
variable). Subjects in the Premier League showed a diff erence in 2 of 6 variables (fl ight time and jump height). The results
obtained indicate that regular practice with both legs, both in the game and in training, will help players become balanced
and effi cient in all aspects of the game. Based on these results, it is possible to construct test batteries that will provide
quality information necessary for planning and programming in basketball.
