the physical tests of the two beijing teams went very smoothly, but some players encountered difficulties. this year, the chinese basketball association has made some changes to the cba physical test.testa major reform has been made, from the original random test, or each team has afreethe test quota is provided to injured players and veterans.will be exemptedthe physical test was changed to a physical test for all players. players must pass the physical test to get on the job, otherwise they will have no ball to play. there are only three players in the entire cba league who do not need to take the physical test, namely zhang ning, zhao jiaren, and lu wenbo, the athletes who will participate in the 3x3 basketball competition at the 2024 paris olympics. another participating player, zhu yuanbo, belongs to the super three league and is not in the cba. the 20 cba teams are divided into two areas, north and south, for centralized testing. the physical test location for the north area is located at the qingdao men's basketball training base, and the physical test location for the south area is located at the sichuan men's basketball training base in chengdu, sichuan. in the physical tests that have been conducted, the failure of some well-known players to pass has attracted attention. wang yi bo of the zhejiang team suffered a strain during the test and needs to rest for a while. he xining of the shenzhen team did not pass the test because he failed to step on the sideline as required during a turnaround and his score was cancelled. gao shiyan of the shandong team failed to pass the turnaround because of a false start. at this year's cba draft, he was selected by the sichuan teamofstreetball player yang zheng failed the test because he did not meet the standards for the shuttle run and the 2-minute intensity shot. in addition, guangzhou team's guo ailun and xinjiang team's zhao rui did not participate in the physical test because of their physical condition. they all need to participate in the subsequent supplementary test. gong luming, vice chairman of the chinese basketball association, said that the physical test is to promote the cba clubs to do a good job in training, and the test standards are not high.。“as long as you want to play, as long as you keep training, you will get through.”gong luming said.

although physical tests cannot quickly improve the level of players, physical fitness is the foundation of all sports and the most basic requirement for professional players. the cba's physical tests can increase players' sense of crisis, allowing them to put more pressure and motivation on themselves and stimulate more potential. gong luming said that the original intention of promoting physical tests was to encourage various clubs to focus on training. foreign clubs also have their own testing methods, which is a basic requirement for professional athletes. gong luming believes that in the future, if every club realizes the importance of this issue and has its own testing system, the chinese basketball association will no longer need to organize unified physical tests.

the physical test is only the first step in the reform of the cba this season, including changes in schedule, competition system, use of foreign players, etc. people are waiting to see how effective these changes will be when the new cba season starts.
