“…Specifically, backcourt players typically undertake frequent intense cutting movements to create space for open perimeter shots and defend opposing perimeter players cutting to receive the ball [ 70 ]. Moreover, backcourt players are more likely to be involved in fast breaks as they initiate steals [ 71 ] or leak out when transitioning into offense as well as pursue opposing backcourt players when transitioning to defense. These intense movements performed frequently across games by backcourt players likely increase the reliance on rapid glycolysis for energy re-synthesis [ 72 , 73 ] compared to frontcourt players who are typically positioned closer to the basket on offense and defense.…”

Background Despite the growing global participation of females in basketball and number of studies conducted on the topic, no research has summarized the external and internal load variables encountered by female basketball players during training and games. Objective To collate existing literature investigating external and internal load variables during training and games in female basketball players according to playing level (club, high-school, representative, collegiate, semi-professional, and professional) and playing position (backcourt and frontcourt players). Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science to identify studies published from database inception until June 11, 2021. Studies eligible for inclusion were observational and cross-sectional studies, published in English, reporting external and/or internal load variables during training sessions and/or games. Methodological quality and bias were assessed for each study prior to data extraction using a modified Downs and Black checklist. Weighted means according to playing level and playing position were calculated and compared if a load variable was reported across two or more player samples and were consistent regarding key methodological procedures including the seasonal phase monitored, minimum exposure time set for including player data (playing time during games), approach to measure session duration, and approach to measure session intensity. Results The search yielded 5513 studies of which 1541 studies were duplicates. A further 3929 studies were excluded based on title and abstract review, with 11 more studies excluded based on full-text review. Consequently, 32 studies were included in our review. Due to the wide array of methodological approaches utilized across studies for examined variables, comparisons could only be made according to playing level for blood lactate concentration during games, revealing backcourt players experienced higher lactate responses than frontcourt players (5.2 ± 1.9 mmol·L−1 vs. 4.4 ± 1.8 mmol·L−1). Conclusions Inconsistencies in the methods utilized to measure common load variables across studies limited our ability to report and compare typical external and internal loads during training and games according to playing level and position in female basketball players. It is essential that standardized methodological approaches are established for including player data as well as measuring session duration (e.g., total time, live time) and intensity (e.g., consistent rating of perceived exertion scales, intensity zone cut points) in future female basketball research to permit meaningful interpretation and comparisons of load monitoring data across studies.

“…Chiu et al 15 found that although the guards and forwards exhibited similar abilities in terms of behavioral inhibition, different neural processing efficiencies still exist in the basketball playing positions, with guards showing divergent efficiencies in the target evaluation and response selection of the target and non-target stimuli and fewer cognitive resources during premotor preparation and decision-making as compared to the forwards. Zhai et al 16 explored the differences in technical performances of players considering playing positions by controlling the effect of situational variables in each International basketball federation (FIBA) female continental basketball competition. All of these have contributed to the positional difference in the 2-point field goal accuracy.…”

This study developed a Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling Scheme to study the positional difference of field goal accuracy at different shooting distances, including less than 8 ft, 8–24 ft, and more than 24 ft. The approach was first applied to players’ statistics in the National Basketball Association (NBA) 2018–2019 season in the USA. Results found that the overall accuracy decreases with the increase in shooting distance. When the shooting distance is less than 8 feet, players in the role of center have the highest accuracy (63.2%). The point guard and shooting guard have higher shooting accuracy than power forward and small forward. When the shooting distance is between 8 and 24 feet, the guards, including the shooting guard and point guard, have the highest shooting accuracy. For the 3-point field goal with a shooting distance of more than 24 feet, the point guard and shooting guard have the highest shooting accuracy, with a mode of 0.362, respectively. To further demonstrate the use of the proposed method, shooting accuracy at different distances was investigated for NBA basketball seasons in the last decade (2011–2020). Analyzes found that shooting accuracy for distinct positions at different shooting distances is generally higher in the last five years (from 2016–2017 season to 2020–2021 season) compared to the first five years (from 2011–2012 season to 2015–2016 season). Increases in the accuracy of field goals with shooting distance over 24 feet have been observed for players who take the roles of center, power forward, and shooting guard.

Introduction.The construction of an effective system of training of qualified athletes in game sports should be based on the preparation of players of different game roles, where the determining factor is the specificity of competitive activity of players in certain types of team game sports. Formation of game playing roles is a necessary component, with the help of which it becomes possible to clearly distribute the responsibilities of athletes during the game, which makes it possible to turn competitive activity into a complex organizationally controlled system. The aim of the study is to determine the main trends in the training of players of different game roles of team game sports according to the data of modern special scientific and methodological literature. Material and methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources and data in the Internet, generalization, comparison and contrast. Results. The analysis of publications in the international scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science in the period from 2019 to 2023 allowed us to establish that the majority of scientific works concerning the system of training athletes in different types of team game sports are presented in the direction of control of different aspects of fitness (33%) and determination of the structure of competitive activity (23%). The largest number of scientific works in the scientometric bases is presented in soccer and basketball 6% respectively. Conclusions. It is emphasized the necessity of taking into account individual capabilities of athletes in team game sports when forming game roles, completing the starting line-up of the team, searching for universal players, which will allow to carry out not only effective management of competitive activity, but also to determine the trends that should be taken into account when building a multi-year process of sports improvement.
