“…Moreover, individual and team technical performances were negatively affected during the fourth week of RIF for INT, independently of changes in body composition, sleep habits, and RPE, which conflicted with our hypothesis. Otherwise, players maintained a high training load (2000 AU for INT) in order to maintain their competitive fitness and muscle mass during the experimental period [31,32]. The weekly training load measured in this study was similar to training loads reported during the in-season period in Italian soccer players (1900 AU) but lower than those observed in overreached rugby league players [19,33].…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of an additional small-sided games (SSGs) training program during Ramadan intermitting fasting (RIF) on technical performance depending on changes in body composition, sleep habits, and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Twenty-four professional male basketball players from the Tunisian first division participated in this study. The players were randomly assigned to an intervention group (INT; n = 12) or an active control group (CON; n = 12). Both groups completed a four-week SSG training program (three sessions per week). During the first and fourth weeks of the SSGs training, the two groups were evaluated to detect changes in technical performance, dietary intake, body composition, sleep quality index (PSQI) survey outcomes, RPE, heart rate (HR), and blood lactate concentration [La]. During the fourth week of the RIF period, body composition, dietary intake, sleep latency, sleep duration, and HR significantly decreased only for INT (p < 0.001). However, RPE significantly increased (p < 0.001), and technical performances were negatively affected (p < 0.01). MANCOVA (adjusted for the percentage of change in sleep duration, body mass, and RPE) showed no significant differences in either group. In conclusion, our results showed that the technical performance of professional basketball male players was significantly affected at the end of RIF independently of changes in RPE, sleep habits, and body composition.

“…The present analysis of the external load measured via IMUs during official games of a Basketball Veteran League competition showed that the players mainly performed at low intensity. Various investigations assessed the external game load via IMUs across several basketball populations [60][61][62]68,69]. However, the different experimental approaches, measurement devices, and data reduction in relation to the whole and/or actual game time (i.e., full match duration including stoppages or only the time the players were on-court) do not allow sound comparisons between studies.…”

This study aimed at assessing the external [Player Load (PL), acceleration (ACC), changes of direction (COD), JUMP, and their relative values (PL/min; ACC/min; COD/min and JUMP/min)] and internal [percentage of the peak heart rate (%HRpeak) and the training load calculated with the session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE) method (sRPE-load)] loads of masters (senior citizen) basketball players during official games. Thirteen male basketball masters players (age: 66.6 ± 2.1 years; body mass: 89.9 ± 8.7 kg; stature: 183.7 ± 4.6 cm) were monitored during an official Lietuvos Krepsinio Veteranu Lyga (LKVL) 65-year game. Beside descriptive analysis, a chi-square goodness of fit test was adopted to assess the differences in the distribution within JUMP, ACC and COD classes of intensities (i.e., low, medium and high). The results revealed PL = 269.9 ± 83.3 AU and PL/min = 6.54 ± 1.29 AU/min. Moreover, significant differences (p < 0.001) in the distribution of the intensity classes were found for JUMP, ACC, and COD, with the lowest intensities as the most frequent. Finally, HRpeak = 81.7 ± 8.1% and sRPE-load = 148.9 ± 69.7 AU were found, with sRPE = ~3 AU. In conclusion, a low external load during an official basketball game was found compared to other basketball populations. Moreover, a high objective internal load did not correspond to a low perceived demand, which might increase the training adherence and motivation during long-term studies.

“…Existing basketball data related with most demanding scenarios in basketball have analyzed the impact of different factors on the PD encountered by players, including the effects of player position ( Alonso et al, 2020 ; Fox et al, 2020a ), score-line ( Vázquez-Guerrero et al, 2020 ), congested-fixture ( Pino-Ortega et al, 2019 ), age category ( García et al, 2021 ), type of activity ( Vázquez-Guerrero et al, 2020 ; García et al, 2022 ), phase of the season ( Alonso et al, 2022 ), playing time ( Alonso Perez-Chao et al, 2021 ), or accumulated playing time prior to external PD ( Alonso Perez-Chao et al, 2021 ). However, only one previous study has examined the peak intensities encountered by players across game quarters in basketball, suggesting peak values decrease across match-play ( Fox et al, 2020b ).…”

Fluctuations in External Peak Demands Across Quarters During Basketball Games

et al. 2022

The purpose of this study was to compare external peak demands (PDs) across quarters (Q) in basketball. Thirteen elite, junior, male basketball players were monitored using electronic performance tracking systems. There were studied intervals for different time windows to determine the external PD for distance (m); player load; distance covered in four different zones; accelerations; and decelerations. A mixed linear model was run to identify differences among quarters, and the auto-correlation function was carried out to determine fluctuations across the whole game. The results showed significant differences between Q1 vs. Q2 for distance, player load, and standing–walking distance; between Q1 vs. Q3 for distance, player load, and HSR; between Q1 vs. Q4 for distance, player load, standing–walking, and HSR; and between Q3 vs. Q4 for distance and player load. These findings suggest that external PD for running-based demands (distance, player load, and high-speed running) decrease across basketball games with the most notable declines occurring between the first and fourth quarters. Nevertheless, it is important to note that non-significant differences were found between quarters for several external PD variables (jogging, running, acceleration, and deceleration) across different time windows. Findings from the present study reinforce the importance of considering specific PD variables for different functions due to the specific insight each provides.
