Team success in basketball is related to knowing basketball techniques and tactics, along with certain abilities and characteristics of the players. Several different batteries of tests are used to examine the players' current psycho-physical state needed for the successful planning of the training processes. To determine the players' psycho-physical condition, relevant data are used, based on the results of tests of morphological, motor, cognitive, conative, functional and sociological characteristics and abilities. The aim of the current research was to present a battery of tests used to evaluate the abilities and characteristics of young basketball players, aged 12 to 19, identified following an analysis of published scientific research. The following electronic databases were used to collect recent research: PubMed, J-GATE, DOAJ and Google Scholar. The analyzed works were published from 2007 to 2018. The results show that the most frequent means of measurement in research involving young players, were batteries of tests which included different types of vertical jumps used to examine explosive power. Other tests that were used are tests for the evaluation of morphological characteristics, aerobic endurance, anaerobic capacity, agility, coordination, and speed of recovery after intensive acyclic activity in basketball. Taking these findings into account, it is clear that modern basketball is characterized by important variations in the movement, morphological status, and physiological demands of the players, all of which are conditioned by the players' positions on the team. The results and analysis of those tests are important for creating a quality basketball player profile in all parts of the game.
The aim of this review paper is to determine the significance of game interruptions for scoring a goal during a football match by providing a detailed analysis of the relevant literature. The collection of compiled research articles covered the period between 2000 and 2018. The following electronic databases were used to search the relevant literature: PubMed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, EBSCO, all referring to the period from 2000 to 2018. The search included both male and female players of different age categories. Scientific papers that were excluded from this analysis are the ones written in another language, those presenting results from the training sessions, but not from the competition matches, and the papers which did not analyze game interruptions. The results show statistically significant correlation between game interruptions and scoring a goal. The most goals were scored from free kicks, followed by corner kicks. About 30% of the goals from different competitions and games were achieved after a set play. The factors that have the highest effect on scoring goals after a set play are the number of players in the wall, a distance from the goal and the number of players in the field between the goalkeeper and the position of the free kick. The data showed little or no differences, expressed in percentages, in terms of correlation between male and female players, including both senior and junior categories. Game interruptions have a significant impact on scoring a goal. They are part of the standard game situation and as such they require special attention during analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
