“…Our results provide evidence that offensive and defensive performances were better after than before a timeout. As previously argued, timeouts were effective in decreasing the opponents' local rate of reinforcements and thus the points scored by opponents (Roane et al, 2004). As Mace et al (1992) argued, calling a timeout early in an opponent's scoring streak may avoid the accumulation of ''unanswered points''.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of game timeouts on basketball teams' offensive and defensive performances according to momentary differences in score and game period. The sample consisted of 144 timeouts registered during 18 basketball games randomly selected from the 2007 European Basketball Championship (Spain). For each timeout, five ball possessions were registered before (n 0493) and after the timeout (n0475). The offensive and defensive efficiencies were registered across the first 35 min and last 5 min of games. A k-means cluster analysis classified the timeouts according to momentary score status as follows: losing ((10 to (3 points), balanced ( (2 to 3 points), and winning (4 to 10 points). Repeated-measures analysis of variance identified statistically significant main effects between pre and post timeout offensive and defensive values. Chi-square analysis of game period identified a higher percentage of timeouts called during the last 5 min of a game compared with the first 35 min (64.999.1% vs. 35.1910.3%; x 2 05.4, P B0.05). Results showed higher post timeout offensive and defensive performances. No other effect or interaction was found for defensive performances. Offensive performances were better in the last 5 min of games, with the least differences when in balanced situations and greater differences when in winning situations. Results also showed one interaction between timeouts and momentary differences in score, with increased values when in losing and balanced situations but decreased values when in winning situations. Overall, the results suggest that coaches should examine offensive and defensive performances according to game period and differences in score when considering whether to call a timeout.

“…Vollmer and Bourret (2000), Romanowich, Bourret, and Vollmer (2007), and Alferink, Critchfield, Hitt, and Higgins (2009) demonstrated that the matching law could be used to accurately describe basketball players shot selection, and Seniuk, Williams, Reed, and Wright (2015) extended these findings to describe shot selection of professional hockey players. Furthermore, Roane, Kelley, Trosclair, and Hauer (2004) used behavioral momentum theory to describe patterns of behavior in women's college basketball. Although this line of research is providing an exciting direction for behavior analysts, it does not evaluate interventions but rather provides descriptions of behavior analytic principles applied to sports; therefore, we did not include such articles in our review (for an in-depth review of quantitative analytic techniques as they are applied to sports, see Reed, 2011).…”

Behavioral Interventions

these studies use a multicomponent intervention, they often assess novel component combinations or apply an intervention to a scarcely studied or unstudied sport or target behavior.A recent poll found that three quarters of adults in the United States played sports when they were younger, and one quarter of adults continue to play sports throughout their lives, with more than 50 different sports included (Sports and Health in America, 2015). Additionally, participating in sports has numerous physical and social benefits to the athlete. Furthermore, it is reported that 63% of people in the United States describe themselves as sports fans (Carroll, 2005). This demonstrates the significance of sports within society and indicates the importance of a continued focus on the research of sports-related behavior.Perhaps as a result of the prevalence of professional sports and the widespread participation in sports across countries, there has been a proliferation of sports research in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) over the past several decades. Recent publications (e.g., Luiselli & Reed, 2015;Martin, 2015) describe how behavior analytic techniques have been utilized to address a wide range of behaviors across multiple sports and populations.This research is based on principles and procedures of behavioral science established over the past 80 or more years with single-subject designs. Thus, there is not a current review comparing and contrasting the various behavioral procedures that have been used to enhance sports performance and the different sports targeted with a behavioral intervention. The purpose of this paper is to review the research applying behavior analytic procedures to performance enhancement across sports. | METHOD | Inclusion and exclusion criteriaTwo inclusion criteria were used to identify studies for review. First, a behavioral intervention had to be implemented in each study. A behavior intervention includes using any form of an intervention that might alter an observable behavior. Second, the target behavior was sport performance consisting of the measurement of an athlete's observable behavior. Regarding performance enhancement, a sports intervention can target the behavior of the individual playing the sport, or it can target the behavior of the individual coaching the players. Studies were excluded if the focus was solely on physical activity (i.e., exercise promotion) rather than sports performance. Although increasing physical activity can be part of sport performance enhancement, the purpose of such research is generally on health outcomes as opposed to performance enhancement. Additional sports-related studies were excluded if the focus was therapeutic instead of performance based (e.g., using a sports activity to decrease anxiety), the focus was not on performance of a skill related to an organized sport (e.g., throwing a ball), and if the study was not written in English.

“…These can be managed freely by the coach and depending on the sports, can be requested by a determined number of timeouts, with a duration established by the sports regulation (Gómez et al, 2011;Mace et al, 1992;2004, Wang et al, 2010.…”

In the management of team sport competition, timeouts are one of the main tools of the coach to stop the game. It could be used on changing trends or the rhythm of the game, and also on providing relevant information to the players. So, it may have an important effect in sporting success. The main objective of the research was to analyse the use of timeouts (TO) in U-19 male volleyball teams, as well as the effect of the game on then, depending on the match score (winning-balanced, or losing). 171 timeouts, requested by coaches of the 21 teams participating in the U-19 male Spanish Championship 2012, were analysed. The variables considered in this study were: match score (TO requested when winning-balanced score or when losing); score difference (0-1 points, 2-3 points, 4 or more points); lost rallies (0-1 rallies, 2 rallies, ≥ 3 rallies); game period (initial moment of the set, final moment of the set); timeout effect (positive timeout effect and time out with no effect). The results showed that variables significantly associated with the TO request with different score (winning-balanced, losing) were: score difference, game period and timeout effect. Specifically, contributed positively to the association: TO request with winning-balanced score with the score difference of 0-1 points, with the final moments of the set and with the positive timeout effect; TO request with a losing score with the score difference of 4 or more points, in the initial moments of the set and with no effect of the timeout. This results could be taken into account in the process of team management in competition, in volleyball formative stages.
