“…7 Attainment of athletic excellence when being adults is limited for a very narrow group of basketball players, independent of gender. 8 In youth basketball, body size and functional performance are important determinants of performance that influence coaches decisions, 4,9 whether to develop and provide training and competition opportunities, or not to promote player’s participation. Often differences in adolescent player’s physique and performance are transient, and may be exacerbated by the complex interaction between pubertal growth rate, chronological age and accumulated sport-specific experience.…”

In the present study we examined the age-and maturity-associated variation on body size and functional capacities in 47 adolescent female basketball players. Also, we examined the relative contribution of growth and maturity status to functional capacity between player variation. Data included chronological age, age at menarche, years of training experience; body dimensions; countermovement jump, Line drill test and Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test-level 1. Bayesian multilevel modelling was used to estimate the independent effects of age, maturity status, years of training experience and body size on functional capacity indicators. Players were, on average, advanced in maturity status, with a mean age at menarche of 11.20 years (1.32 years). Age-associated variation in age at menarche, body size and functional performance was present. No substantial maturity-associated variation was observed for stature and functional capacities, but late maturing players appeared to be less experienced in the sport. Variance partition coefficients ranged between 38% and 45% for the three indicators of functional capacities. Body mass and adiposity were the predictors identified for all indicators of performance. Maturity status and years of experience were predictors of performance in the countermovement jump while age and years of experience were predictors of performance for the Line drill. Stature was only identified as a predictor of the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery-level 1. Coaches should interpret functional performance in adolescent female basketball players considering their different ages (chronological, biological and accumulated training) and their influence on body dimensions.

“…A previous study in Spanish national teams showed the existence of a break in the continuity of participation when comparing U16 and senior categories. 29 This reinforces the notion that as the stages of development progress, the challenges that players must face change whilst the solutions that previously brought success in game scenarios are no longer as effective. For example, the U18 Lithuanian national team performed more 2-point shots, but with lower accuracy, as compared to the U16 national team.…”

The aims of this study were to examine the influence of maturity timing on functional skills and game-related statistics amongst under-16 (U16) national team basketball players, and analyse which of these parameters were related to onward selection to the under-18 (U18) national team. Thirty-six U16 basketball players underwent anthropometric and overhead squat assessments during a national team training camp. Also, maturity offset (MO) was computed alongside game-related statistics during the U16 National Championship and U16 European Championship competitions. For the statistical analysis of all parameters, subjects were identified according to their maturity timing (early vs average). Sitting height, height, body mass, points scored and assists during U16 National Championship discriminated between early- and average-maturing players. Early-maturing players played significantly fewer minutes during the European Championship compared with the National Championship whilst average-maturing players scored significantly more points and performed more assists during the National Championship. Minutes played during the European Championship, and points scored during National and European Championships discriminated ‘selected’ from ‘non-selected’ players for the U18 National Team. These results encourage coaches to acknowledge the value in allowing later-maturing players the time to develop with a view to realising their full potential.

“…To summarize, when injury history is taken into consideration, basketball players are unlikely to have a significant bilateral lower limb strength imbalance. These findings can be interpreted as reflecting the symmetrical movement patterns of basketball players who use both lower limbs equally during practice and competition [22].…”

PURPOSE: In this study, the isokinetic strength of ankle inversion and eversion in Korean professional basketball players (KBL) was assessed, distinguishing between their dominant and non-dominant legs, as well as across different positions.METHODS: A meticulously designed study was conducted involving 25 KBL players (12 guards, 11 forwards, and 2 centers) with an average age of 27.8 ± 5.3 years. The CSMI Norm isokinetic dynamometer, a highly accurate instrument, was used to measure bilateral isokinetic concentric strength at 60°·s-¹ and 150°·s-¹. The study measured peak torque (Nm), body mass normalized peak torque (Nm·kg-¹), bilateral strength asymmetry, and the eversion-to-inversion strength ratio in both dominant and non-dominant legs.RESULTS: Peak torques, normalized peak torques, and eversion-to-inversion strength ratios were not significantly different between the dominant and non-dominant legs at the two angular speeds. There was also less than a 10% asymmetry in strength between the two legs. However, a position-specific analysis revealed that guards had a significantly higher normalized peak torque (0.35 vs. 0.30 Nm·kg-1, p = .048) for ankle inversion of the dominant leg at 150°·s-¹ compared to forwards.CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that healthy KBL players exhibit symmetrical ankle inversion and eversion muscle strength between their dominant and non-dominant sides, with possible positional differences in strength. These findings serve as a reference for the assessment of inversion and eversion strength in basketball players.
