“…There is lack of data regarding the dynamics of renal function in basketball. As shown in our previous research, intense training and frequent matches were associated with prolonged stress and muscle damage in basketball players [8]. We suggested that a long competitive season involving frequent matches and intense training could influence renal function, as a consequence of applying repeated physical loads, through chronically stimulating CK activity.…”

The results from different sports studies regarding changes in parameters of renal function as a consequence of exercise-induced muscular damage are conflicting. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of renal function in association with the phases of the macro cycle and to establish possible relationship between indicators of muscle damage and renal function in basketball players. Methods: Nine professional basketball players were monitored during 12 weeks starting from the first day of pre-season preparations. Blood samples were collected three times: before the pre-season, during the pre-season and during the in-season to determine blood creatine kinase (CK), creatinine and urea concentrations and to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Results: The ANOVA test revealed statistically significant changes in CK and eGFR, associated with physical loads in the basketball players. However, the test did not confirm relationships between indicators of renal function and muscle damage during any phase of the macro cycle. Conclusion: Elevated levels of CK induced by sport-specific activities are not associated with changes in renal function despite the use of frequent and intense physical loads in male professional basketball players. Further research is necessary to elucidate regularities in changes of renal function among team sport representatives.

“…9 One study suggests that monitoring the heart rate of players during practice is related to VO2max and could help to enhance the quality of practice in establishing and maintaining a level of aerobic fitness. 10 The relatively high level of aerobic demand, despite the high percent of playing time spent walking and standing, suggests aerobic metabolism is critical in the removal of lactate and the restoration of PCr, which are known to be oxygen-dependent processes 11 . The regeneration of PCr provides the muscle with energy to continue high-intensity contractions.…”

Aim of the study - The study aimed to compare the aerobic capacities, specifically the Force Vital Capacity (FVC), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), and Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO2) Max, between male Handball players with high and low performance levels. Additionally, the study sought to establish a criteria for classifying male Handball players into high or low performance groups by utilising discriminant analysis based on the parameters of aerobic capacities. Material and Methods- A sample of sixty male Handball players who participated in the 2018 Handball Men’s Senior National held at Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh India were tested for their aerobic capacities. The data was collected on the last two teams of tournament and top two teams of tournament. Thus, the players were classified into high and low performance groups. Results- The mean values of all the three aerobic capacities parameters were significantly higher among high performance Handball players in comparison with low performance players. Further, a discriminant model was prepared to classify Handball players into high and low performance groups on the basis of aerobic capacity variables. A disrciminant function Z was developed (Z = –13.21 + 1.20 (FVC) + 0.21 (PEF) + 0.170 (VO2 Max)) The attained discriminant model classified correctly 88.3% of the cases in the sample. Conclusion- The study clearly demarks the difference present in the aerobic capacities of the different level of players. The result of the study is that the coaches can use aerobic capacity parameters of selecting a elite level basket player and a beginner as well.

“…For thorough evaluation of team members' fitness, informative criteria need to be employed. Scientific criteria can be used to establish fitness and the quality of the game for both healthy and deaf basketball players (Gocentas, Landor, & Andziulis, 2004;Laplaud, Hug, & Menier, 2004). Existing scientific data on deaf basketball players' preparation (Milašius et al, 2007;Šatas & Milašius, 2008 a, b;Šatas, Milašius, & Dadelienė, 2005, 2010Šatas & Radžiukynas, 2003) has not yet covered analysis of players' body and functional capacity, nor change in their game activity.…”

Background. The purpose of the present study was to establish and evaluate body capacity and functional capacity of Lithuanian deaf basketball national team players, 2013 Deaflympic champions, and to provide the data analysis of the players’ participation in Deaflympic Games comparing it with the data of participation in the Games of 2005 and 2009.Deaflympic Games comparing it with the data of participation in the Games of 2005 and 2009.Methods. The group of investigated persons included 12 Lithuanian deaf basketball national team members. Basketball players’ body development, body and functional capacity testing was performed. Method of systemic analysis was employed to perform comparative analysis of Lithuanian deaf basketball national team players’ game indicators.Results. The results of our research showed that body development and physical capacity indices of Lithuanian deaf basketball national team players who participated in 2013 Deaflympic Games allowed accomplishing the technical and tactical requirements of contemporary basketball for players of such level. Lithuanian deaf basketball national team members have demonstrated better results in muscle mass and reached higher physical capacities comparing to those of the participants of the previous Games. This increase resulted in improved quality of the game and for the first time becoming gold medals winners. Conclusion. Comparative analysis of game indices of the teams having participated in various Games showed that the majority of the competitive activity indices were better in 2013 Games in Sofia: field of goals precision was 49.2%, the high number of defensive rebounds and less turnovers during competitions allowed very effective fast breaks.
