Time–motion analysis and physiological data of elite under-19-year-old basketball players during competition

Abstract

The physical demands of modern basketball were assessed by investigating 38 elite under-19-year-old basketball players during competition. Computerised time–motion analyses were performed on 18 players of various positions. Heart rate was recorded continuously for all subjects. Blood was sampled before the start of each match, at half time and at full time to determine lactate concentration. Players spent 8.8% (1%), 5.3% (0.8%) and 2.1% (0.3%) of live time in high “specific movements”, sprinting and jumping, respectively. Centres spent significantly lower live time competing in high-intensity activities than guards (14.7% (1%)v17.1% (1.2%); p<0.01) and forwards (16.6% (0.8%); p<0.05). The mean (SD) heart rate during total time was 171 (4) beats/min, with a significant difference (p<0.01) between guards and centres. Mean (SD) plasma lactate concentration was 5.49 (1.24) mmol/l, with concentrations at half time (6.05 (1.27) mmol/l) being significantly (p<0.001) higher than those at full time (4.94 (1.46) mmol/l). The changes to the rules of basketball have slightly increased the cardiac efforts involved during competition. The game intensity may differ according to the playing position, being greatest in guards.

Comparación del perfil físico entre 3x3 y 5x5 de baloncesto formativo / Physical Profile Comparison Between 3x3 and 5x5 Basketball Training

“…Pero estas medidas sólo proporcionan una evaluación indirecta de la demanda externa durante la competición en baloncesto (Scanlan, Dascombe, y Reaburn, 2011), y aunque son considerados valores apropiados para la medición de energía aeróbica y láctica producida, podrían ser unos incompletos indicadores físicos para valorar este tipo de actividades (Ben Abdelkrim, El Fazaa, y El Ati, 2007).…”

Talentudvikling: Erfaringer fra et talentudviklingsmiljø med fokus på skolegang og sportslig udvikling

“…Sammenligner man med tunesiske ungdomsholdsholdspillere, af tilsvarende alder, vaegt og højde, har stenhusspillerne et markant højere kondital, dvs. 52,8 sammenlignet 59,9 mlO2/kg/ min (Abdelkrim et al, 2007).…”

Variabilidade Do Desempenho No Line-Drill Test Em Adolescentes Jogadores De Basquetebol

“…Log Y = Log a + b · Log X + Log ε, (2) onde Y representa a variável dependente (Line-drill Test) transformada (logaritmo natural, i.e., Log Line-drill Test) e X representa a variável independente transformada (Log variável de dimensão corporal).A validade dos modelos alométricos foi verificada através da verificação da função resultante Y/X b produzir uma variável de desempenho de agilidade independente do tamanho corporal, i.e., um valor de desempenho que controla apropriadamente para o tamanho corporal, não apresentando qualquer correlação espúria com a variável de tamanho corporal 16 . Adicionalmente, foi verificada a normalidade da distribuição dos resíduos resultantes dos modelos alométricos.…”
