This study introduces a method for evaluating fit and comfort perception of basketball footwear by using a basketball specific course (BSC) and to examine respective inter-day reliability.

Methods: The BSC incorporated a sequence of acceleration, deceleration, lateral shuffling, lay-up, backward running, jumping, and landing movements. Nineteen university basketball players provided their perception scores of four fit and seven comfort items after going through the BSC. Six footwear conditions were counterbalanced. Perception scores were analysed by repeated measures ANOVAs (comfort) or Friedman tests (fit) as VAS and Likert scales were applied. Significance level was set at p < 0.05. For reliability analysis, a retest (day 2) was performed 2 weeks after using the identical protocol of the first test day (day 1). Two-way repeated measures ANOVAs and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of shoe ratings …
