The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of functional training with and without bare feet on performance factors and FMS test scores of elite adolescent basketball players. The present study was a quasi-experimental and controlled study that was conducted as a pre-test and post-test with the presence of two training groups. Based on the inclusion criteria, 24 elite adolescent basketball players were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups: 12 with shoes and 12 with bare feet. The training program of the two groups was completely similar. The training was performed for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and each session was 1 hour for the two groups. The research tools included an informed consent form, a questionnaire on personal information and sports medicine history, a scale, a barometer, a stopwatch, and a kit (FMS). To evaluate performance factors, the functional motor screening test (FMS), the LESS test, the Y-balance test, the vertical jump test, the hop test, the 10-meter speed test, and the 620-meter endurance running test were used in the study. Descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levine test, and independent and dependent t-test were used using SPSS version 26 software. The results of independent t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the shoe training group and the barefoot training group in the total score of the FMS functional test after 8 weeks of functional training (P=0.823). Also, no significant difference was observed between the FMS functional test factors in the two groups. The results of independent t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the shoe training group and the barefoot training group after 8 weeks of functional training in the LESS test score, Y balance and vertical jump, hop test score, 10-meter speed test score, and 620-meter endurance test. According to the results of the dependent t-test and comparison of pre-test and post-test scores in both training groups, functional training improved the performance factors and FMS test scores in elite adolescent basketball players in the two groups of training with shoes and training with bare feet, meaning that the effect of these exercises was significant in both training groups. Therefore, it is recommended to coaches to use functional training to improve the performance and performance of athletes.
