This study aims to examine whether erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase II can be used as a biological marker of metabolic adaptation to basketball-specific high-intensity interval training. Carbonic anhydrase II is an enzyme involved in acid-base balance and carbon dioxide transport, and it may reflect physiological adaptations to intense exercise. Healthy basketball players participated in a structured high-intensity interval training program designed to reflect the physical demands of basketball. Blood samples and performance-related measurements were collected before and after the training period to evaluate changes in erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase II levels and related metabolic responses. The findings of this study are expected to improve the understanding of exercise-induced metabolic adaptations and to explore the potential use of erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase II as a practical biomarker for monitoring training responses in basketball players.
