Analysis of the Competitive Activity Structure of Skilled Female Basketball Players

Abstract

The study purpose was to examine, analyze, and generalize the competitive activity structure based on the hierarchy of technical and tactical indicators of skilled female basketball players in won and lost games using principal component analysis. Materials and methods. The study participants were 96 professional female basketball players, members of national teams of Spain, France, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Latvia, Italy, and Slovakia, which took the 1st-8th places in the final tournament of the European Basketball Championship 2017. The study analyzed 16 main technical and tactical indicators of skilled female basketball players in 52 official games to examine and interpret the obtained results using principal component analysis. The total number of observations is 52. Results. The experimental indicators obtained during the study made it possible to examine and analyze the grouping of elements of the competitive activity structure of skilled female basketball players, to interpret the obtained results in order to define informative criteria for optimizing training and improving the competitive activity effectiveness. The study revealed considerable differences in the competitive activity structure in won and lost games: in accordance with the most significant indicators of factor loadings, the percentage of a sample of elements that correlate with one another is: for won games – 67.40%, for lost games – 69.52%. Conclusions. Principal component analysis is quite effective and informative for studying the competitive activity structure of skilled female basketball players. It was demonstrated that the greatest difficulties in studying the competitive activity structure in basketball using principal component analysis are the selection of indicators that do not duplicate one another and are not calculated, expert interpretation of the obtained results, and algorithmization of special analysis of technical and tactical indicators.

Development Status and Influencing Factors of Competitive Basketball Management System under the Background of Deep Learning

“…These data not only provide a measure for teams and fans to judge the performance of athletes, but also facilitate athletes to discover their own technical defects and conduct targeted training. Its sufficient statistics make game prediction, tactical analysis, and prediction possible [ 10 , 11 ]. And detailed data statistics need to rely on powerful computer power.…”

Effectiveness of Intensity in Sports Tactics Training of Soccer Players

“…It can be seen from Table 2 that the two groups before the experiment passed the data test comparison: There is no difference in special football qualities such as shooting around the pole with the ball, running around with the ball in 30 seconds, and running back and forth 5×25 meters, 6 which shows that: The football ability of the athletes in the experimental group and the control group was at the same level.…”

Modern Approaches for the Physical Training of Young Female Basketball Players

“…Also, for the first time, the possibility of using the author's training program in the preparatory process of young female basketball players as an integral part of preparation for the official national competitions -the All-Ukrainian Youth Basketball League games -has been proven. At the same time, the study (Doroshenko et al, 2020) emphasizes that training programs in the preparatory process of young female basketball players, which are aimed at intensifying their training, can negatively affect the integrated training of athletes in the subsequent stages of sports improvement -the stage of preparation for higher sporting achievements, the stage of maximum realization of individual capabilities, etc.…”

“…Data on finding the most rational correlations of general and special means in the process of physical training programs for young female basketball players at the stages of preliminary or specialized basic training were further developed (Doroshenko et al, 2020;Gokmen Ozen et al, 2020). This indicates the need to modify modern approaches to the training programs aimed at the effective realization of the individual potential of young female basketball players based on the morpho-functional specialization of their body.…”
