Objective of the study was to test the fitlight simulation method to improve neuromuscular interconnections in basketball players. Methods and structure of the study. The educational experiment was carried out from September 2019 to November 2019. Sampled for the study were 30 basketball players from Saint Petersburg Academy of the Investigative Committee and Saint-Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The Experimental Group subjects were to perform dribbling exercises on the fitlight simulator, which consisted of the wireless LED disks controlled by a tablet controller. Results and conclusions. The Fitlight Training System for the neuromuscular control training in academic basketball was tested beneficial as verified by the EG progress of 36.2% (65.7s versus 41.9s in the pre- versus post-experimental NC tests) as a result of the special priority to the on-spot and on-the-move dribbling/ ball control trainings with the attention fixed on the color-triggered skills. The difficulty-stepping game situation modeling trainings resulted in the ball control errors being reduced by 43.6%, and ball losses almost halved down. The EG progress may be attributed to the Fitlight Training System assisted trainings that helped excel both the NC and tactile sensations in the group. The tested benefits of the Fitlight Training System assisted training model give us good reasons to expect it being highly efficient for the coordination skills training purposes in the academic basketball training systems.
