The acute effect of different specific warm-up intensity on one repeat maximum squat performance on basketball players

Background and Study Aim. Squat exercises have some advantages in terms of time, practice and energy costs. It is also an exercise method used in training plan in terms of development of jumping ability in basketball players. Squat performance may vary depending on warm-up types and intensity. It was aimed to determine the effect of different specific warm-up intensities on 1-maximum repetition squat performance (1-RM) on basketball players. Materials and Methods. The sample group of the study consisted of 10 men (age: 22.90 ± 1.44 years, height: 188.10 ± 8.06 cm, body weight: 77.92 ± 13.41 kg, BMI: 21.70 ± 2.83), who played basketball regularly for at least 3 years. This group performed 3 different specific warm up intensities on non-consecutive days. Warm up protocols were determined as follows: light jogging for only 5 minutes (NSW), light jogging and % 40 intensity specific warm up (LISW), light jogging and % 80 intensity specific warm up (HISW). Results. Participants' 1-RM squat performance was found to be statistically different between NSW (91.10 kg), LISW (95.00 kg), HISW (100,50 kg) respectively (p<0.05). Additionally, 1-RM squat performance values were observed highest after HISW. Rate perceived exertion (RPE) and body temperature (BT) were found highest after HISW. Conclusion. As a result of this study, HISW are recommended to basketball coaches and basketball players in order to get more performance before the squat movement.

Physical Demands in Three Different Basketball Competitions Played By the Same Under-18 Players

The goal of this study was to compare the physical demands of the same team in three different basketball com- petitions (EBA league (EBA), U18 regional league (U18L), and a U18 international tournament (U18T)) during the same season. Data from eleven U18 players (age: 16.92 ± 0.67 years) were collected using inertial movement units. As external load variables, Player Load (PL), accelerations (ACC), decelerations (DEC), changes of direction (COD), and jumps (JUMP) were expressed in their total (t) and high intensity (h) values. The analysis of variances (ANOVA) and effect size (ES, Cohen’s d) with their respective 90% confidence intervals were applied to identify differences between the competitions. U18T showed the highest values in PL, tACC, tDEC, hDEC, tCOD, tJUMP, and hJUMP (small to moderate ES). However, the hACC and hCOD values were greater in EBA (small ES) than in U18L and U18T. In conclusion, all three competitions presented different external load demands for the same group of players. This data could help basketball coaches to optimize the training process based on the competition in which their team plays. Furthermore, data could also indicate the most suitable competition for players’ development.

Factors affecting the effectiveness of the pick and roll offense at the 2017 European Men's Championship

The evolution of basketball made the game faster, leading coaches to increase the use of pick and roll cooperation in offense. The purpose of this research was to investigate the performance time of the pick and roll every five minutes, the pair of players who participated in the pick and roll and the offensive action of the ball handler after the screen, in the European Men's Championship of 2017. The sample of the research was the sixteen games of the second round of the Championship. The instrument used for the analysis of the matches was the SportScout STA Version 3.2. Analysis with ꭓ2 (Chi-square) was used. In the results analysis, a total of 714 screens were found, of which 356 were successful (49.9%) and 358 (50.1%) failed. Most pick and rolls were performed in the second five-minute span of the third period of the games (14.8%) and in the first five-minute span of the first period (14.1%). Regarding the pairs of players participating in the action, most of them had the guard as the ball handler and the center as the screener (63.4%). In about 60% of the pick and rolls the ball handler chose to finish the action himself either by driving to the basket (31.8%) or with a shot (28.6%). The results of this study provide more information and directions to basketball coaches in order for them to better organize their training and maximize the offensive performance of their teams.

Abstract: The training of trainers must occur through different sources of knowledge; however some sources are more significant than others, in this perspective it is fundamental to identify which are the main sources of knowledge that guide the structuring of the training process. Our study had as objective to identify the sources of determinant knowledge in the structuring of the training process of basketball coaches of Paraná, considering the academic degree, the competitive level and the time of professional experience. For this, a descriptive study was carried out with 20 basketball coaches from the state of Paraná. In the data collection, the instrument proposed by Feu et al (2012) was used to analyze the sources of knowledge of the trainers in three dimensions: Academic Formation, Athlete Experience and Professional Experience. Data were analyzed using inferential descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and inference (Kruskal Wallis H test), as well as a Spearman correlation, performed using SPSS 23.0 software at a significance level of p≤0.05 . The majority of those investigated adopt the sources of knowledge from the academic training (8.34 ± 1.25) and professional experience (7.63 ± 1.87) in the construction of the training process, the higher the academic qualification of the coach, the lower is the use of knowledge professional experience. Despite the limitations of the study, the evidences found allow us to conclude that the sources of knowledge from the academic training are the most commonly used for the professional practice of the basketball coaches of Paraná.
