The purpose of this study was to identify the basketball game-related statistics that best discriminate performances by sex of players and level of competition. Archival data were obtained from the International Basketball Federation boxscores for all games during men's senior (n=62), men's junior (n=64), women's senior (n=62), and women's junior (n=42) World Championships. The game-related statistics gathered included 2- and 3-point field-goals (both successful and unsuccessful), free-throws (both successful and unsuccessful), defensive and offensive rebounds, blocks, assists, fouls, steals and turnovers. For the analysis only the close games were selected (N= 105, 1 to 12 points difference). Men's teams were discriminated from women's teams by their higher percentage of blocks and lower percentage of steals and unsuccessful 2-point field goals. Junior teams were discriminated from senior teams by their lower percentage of assists and higher percentage of turnovers. In the two-factor interaction, the teams were mainly discriminated by the game-related statistics identified for level of competition.
El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer el rasgo de búsqueda de sensaciones en practicantes de paracaidismo en Portugal y comprobar si existen diferencias según las variables, sexo, nivel de experiencia y grupo de edad. Participaron en el estudio 114 paracaidistas. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó el cuestionario Sensation Seeking Scale-V (SSS-V). Se realizaron pruebas de asunción de criterios para la definición de modelos de contraste de hipótesis. Para comparar las variables con la función de búsqueda de sensaciones se utilizaron las pruebas U de Mann-Whitney, la T-Student y la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis atendiendo a las características de los datos. Se encontró que el nivel de intensidad del rasgo de búsqueda de sensaciones de la mayoría de los paracaidistas se encuentra en valores medios o altos. En cuanto a la búsqueda de sensaciones y sus dimensiones, teniendo en cuenta las variables en estudio, solo se encontraron diferencias significativas en la Desinhibición entre los grupos de edad, identificando en los más jóvenes valores medios más altos frente a los mayores. Se puede concluir que los paracaidistas que participaron en este estudio resultaron ser un grupo homogéneo con características de personalidad definidas en busca de aventura, emoción y experiencias muy similares.
