“…It has been recommended that participants who failed to achieve at least 95% of the time of the best sprint in the first run be excluded in order to avoid pacing during the test (Bishop et al 2001;Meckel et al 2009). All players met the inclusion criterion.…”

Relationships between growth, maturation and maximal short-term power outputs were investigated in 94 youth basketball players aged 14-16 years. Data included chronological age (CA), skeletal age (SA), years of training; body dimensions, estimated thigh volume, a running based short-term exercise assessed by the line drill test (LDT), the Bangsbo sprint test (BST) and short-term muscle power outputs with the Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT). Multiple linear regression analyses were used to estimate the effects of CA, skeletal maturity (SA/CA), years of training experience, body size and lower-limb volume on short-term performance in the LDT, BST and WAnT, respectively. Explained variances differed between cycle-ergometry outputs (52-54%) and running test performances (23-46%). The independent effects of predictors were small in the fatigue scores of the WAnT (4%) and the BST (11%). Skeletal maturity, body mass and leg length were primary predictors for all maximal short-term power output measures. Leg length was more relevant as a predictor than stature in the WAnT outputs, while stature and body mass appeared in the model with the running tests as dependent variable. Maximal short-term running abilities were also sensitive to years of training. In summary, skeletal maturation, body size and thigh muscle mass explained moderate to large proportions of the variance on maximal short-term performances of adolescent basketball players. The results highlight the importance of considering maturity status in evaluating the maximal short-term power outputs of adolescent athletes.

“…Test performance was measured as the time taken to complete all sprints. Previously, similar protocols (12 x 20 m) have been used to assess repeat-sprint performance in basketball players (Meckel et al, 2009). Following adequate recovery (~30 min), each participant completed the Yo-Yo IRT using previously described methodology (Krustrup et al, 2003).…”

The aim of this study was to develop a reliable and valid field test that simulates the match-specific activity demands of male basketball competition. Fourteen male basketball players (mean ± SD, age: 24.9 ± 2.3 yr; stature: 187.8 ± 7.7 cm; body mass: 88.8 ± 10.5 kg) from state-(n = 6) and regional-level (n = 8) Australian competitions volunteered to participate. The Basketball Exercise Simulation Test (BEST) was developed using notational data describing the current activity demands of male basketball competition. Participants completed a repeat-sprint protocol, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (Yo-Yo IRT) and 12-min BEST trial. Nine participants completed a further BEST trial at least 7 days later. Measures taken across the BEST included mean sprint and circuit time (s), sprint and circuit decrement (%) and total distance covered (m). Test-retest reliability was determined by calculating the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), typical error of measurement, coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) across the two BEST trials. Criterion validity was calculated using Pearson Correlation analysis between each BEST measure and performance in the repeat-sprint protocol and Yo-Yo IRT. Mean sprint and circuit time and sprint and circuit decrement possessed high ICCs (0.92-0.99), while all measures except sprint (14.6%) and circuit decrement (16.8%) exhibited low CVs (<5%). Significant (p < 0.01) relationships were reported between mean sprint time, sprint decrement, mean circuit time and circuit decrement during the BEST and repeatsprint performance (r = 0.80-0.92), as well as Yo-Yo IRT distance (r = -0.71-0.85). The present results suggest that the BEST is a reliable and valid match-specific test for the combined assessment of basketball-related anaerobic and aerobic fitness.

“…Asimismo se puede establecer que es un deporte mixto intermitente de alta intensidad (Osterberg, Horswill y Baker, 2009) y donde la preparación física juega un papel muy importante debido a los numerosos cambios de ritmo o dirección, sprints a intensidades submáximas y máximas, desplazamientos bilaterales, saltos, aceleraciones y desaceleraciones. Los movimientos de alta intensidad de jugadores de baloncesto están estrechamente relacionados con el desarrollo de la fuerza, la velocidad y la agilidad (Castagna et al, 2007;Meckel, Gottlieb y Eliakim, 2009). …”

Efectos del entrenamiento en la habilidad para repetir sprints (RSA) en arbitros de baloncesto Training effects in repeated sprint ability (RSA) in basketball referees Efeitos do treino na capacidade de repetir sprints (RSA) em árbitros de basquetebol P. Bayón, A. Vaquera, J.V. García-Tormo y R. Dehesa Departamento de Educación Física y Deportiva. Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte. Universidad de León.Resumen: La mayor parte de los estudios en baloncesto se han centrado en el estudio de los jugadores existiendo pocos que se hayan centrado en el estudio de los árbitros de baloncesto. La habilidad para repetir sprints (RSA) es uno de los componentes claves en el rendimiento físico en baloncesto. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la RSA y los valores cineantropométricos en árbitros de baloncesto después de un periodo de entrenamiento de 5 semanas. 24 árbitros fueron analizados, divididos en Grupo Control (GC) y Grupo Experimental (GE). Se les realizó una determinación cineantropométrica (Talla, Peso, % Graso y IMC) y un test de RSA de 7x20 m. en dos ocasiones, antes y después de estas semanas de entrenamiento (PRE y POST). Encontramos pequeñas diferencias en el peso en ambos grupos entre el PRE y POST así como diferencias en el % graso, donde ambos disminuyeron, 2.5% el GC y 5.29% el GE. Las mejoras en el RSA fueron evidentes, siendo 0.67% para el GC y 5.10% para el GE. En conclusión, después de un entrenamiento específico, las mejoras en RSA en árbitros de baloncesto claramente mejorarán su condición física así como sus valores cineantropométricos. Palabras clave: entrenamiento, velocidad, valores cineantropométricos. Abstract: Most studies in basketball have focused on the study of the players and just a few have focused on the study of basketball referees. The ability to repeat sprints (RSA) is one of the key components in physical performance in basketball. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the RSA and the anthropometric values in basketball referees after a period of 5 weeks of specific training. 24 referees were evaluated divided into Group Control (GC) and Experimental Group (GE). An anthropometric determination (Size, Weight, Body fat %, and BMI) and a 7x20m RSA test were performed twice, before and after of 5 specific training weeks (PRE and POST). Small differences in the weight of the referees in PRE and POST in both groups were found but also there are some differences in body fat %, decreasing in 2.5% the GC and in 5.29% the GE. The improvements in RSA are 0.67% for GC and 5.10% for the GE. In conclusion, the basketball referees improvements in RSA after a specific training clearly improves their physical condition and their anthropometric values. Keywords: training, speed, kinanthropometry. Resumo: A maior parte dos estudos em Basquetebol centram-se no estudo dos jogadores existindo poucos que se centrem no estudo dos árbitros. A capacidade de repetir sprints (RSA) é um dos componentes-chave no desempenho físico no basquetebol. Portanto, o objetivo ...
