Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine and justify the impact of basketball and 3-on-3 basketball on the physical and social health of university students. A theoretical analysis and synthesis of specialized medical, educational, and methodological literature was conducted. The findings indicate that engaging in basketball and 3×3 basketball improves cardiovascular, muscular, and metabolic functions, supports calorie expenditure, enhances cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular strength, and develops coordination and balance. Participation in basketball teams facilitates socialization, the development of communication skills, and the formation of social relationships, all within a healthy competitive environment. In summary, university sports – and basketball in particular – have significant social importance.
