“…Conversely, the lower amount of high-intensity accelerations and decelerations in centers could reflect the specificity of positional roles' actions, where they are required to occupy smaller spaces located nearer the basket (Sampaio et al, 2006). Similar playing position-related differences in physical demands of competition in basketball were found in previous studies using average scores (Ferioli et al, 2018;Stojanović et al, 2018;Svilar et al, 2018). Therefore, and unlike short-duration tasks, when coaches and sports science specialists want to design conditioning drills with a duration of 180 and 300 s and that replicate match physical demands, the positional differences should be taken into consideration so that the guards are subjected to higher physical demands (in terms of accelerations and decelerations and distance covered) than the forwards (e.g., two or three accelerations and decelerations more) but mainly compared to the centers (e.g., at least five accelerations and decelerations more).…”

“…While some studies have determined the most demanding scenarios in physical demands during competition in intermittent team sports such as association football (Abbott et al, 2018;Delaney et al, 2018;Martín-García et al, 2018;Casamichana et al, 2019), rugby (Delaney et al, 2016;Cunningham et al, 2018), Gaelic football (Malone et al, 2017), and Australian football (Delaney et al, 2017) through different time average rolling durations, no studies are available that quantify physical demands during match play in basketball using this approach. A plethora of studies have examined the average (mainly per minute) and absolute physical demands of match play in basketball reporting that players usually cover 5-6 km at an average speed of 70-90 m min −1 and perform a total of 40-50 jumps (Stojanović et al, 2018). Furthermore, most of these studies have also identified that the physical demands experienced by players during basketball match play are influenced by the playing positions and levels, whereby guards and top players sustain greater workloads than forwards, centers, and lower-level players at the same positions.…”

The main purpose of this study was to describe the most demanding scenarios of match play in basketball through a number of physical demand measures (high-intensity accelerations and decelerations, relative distance covered, and relative distance covered in established speed zones) for four different rolling average time epochs (30, 60, 180, and 300 s) during an official international tournament. A secondary purpose was to identify whether there were significant differences in physical demand measures among playing positions (centers, guards, and forwards) and levels (two best classified teams in the tournament and remaining teams), match scoring (winning, losing, and drawing), and playing periods (match quarter) at the moment of the most demanding scenarios. Data were collected from 94 male under 18 (U18) elite basketball players (age: 17.4 ± 0.7 years; stature: 199.0 ± 11.9 cm; body mass: 87.1 ± 13.1 kg) competing in a Euroleague Basketball Tournament. Measures were compared via a Bayesian inference analysis. The results revealed the presence of position-related differences [Bayesian factor (BF) > 10 (at least strong evidence) and standardized effect size (δ) > 0.6 (at least moderate)] so that centers covered a lower relative distance at speed zone 1 and had lower high-intensity accelerations and decelerations than guards. However, the Bayesian analysis did not demonstrate the existence of significant differences in any physical demand measure in relation to the playing level, match scoring, and playing periods at the moment of the most demanding scenarios. Therefore, this study provides coaches and strength and conditioning specialists with a most demanding scenario reference on physical demands that can be used as an upper limit threshold in the training and rehabilitation monitoring processes.

“…Thus, suggesting a further enhancement of their ability to maintain acid-base balance during submaximal intermittent exercise, reducing the anaerobic contribution to the test and improving the buffering capacity [42]. The additional adaptations observed among these Division I players during the competitive phase of the season may be a consequence of the greater intermittent workload and high-intensity phases exerted by elite players during basketball games [1,43]. In addition, higher-level competitive players usually undergo a greater training load compared to their lower level counterparts [5].…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to quantify changes in physical capacities of thirty-eight basketball players selected from different teams, as well as from varying competitive levels (i.e. Division I, Division II and Division III) during the preparation and in-season periods. MethodsPre (T1) and post (T2) preparation period and during regular season (T3), the players completed a Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test-level 1. Following a 3 to 8 days-break, players performed a 6-min continuous running test (Mognoni's test), a counter-movement jump test and a 5-min high-intensity intermittent running test. ResultsBlood lactate concentration measured after the Mognoni's test was significantly reduced from T1 to T2, and from T2 to T3 (P<0.001, ƞ 2 = 0.424). The distance covered during the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test was significantly increased only from T1 to T2 in Division II and III (P<0.001, ƞ 2 = 0.789). Similarly, the physiological responses to high-intensity intermittent running test were improved only from T1 to T2 (all P<0.001, ƞ 2 = 0.495 to 0.652). Despite significant changes observed in running tests from T1 to T2, at individual level 35-55% of players did not show a very likely improvement. Relative peak power produced during vertical jumps at T3 by Division I players was increased compared to T1 (ANOVA interaction, P = 0.037, ƞ 2 = 0.134). ConclusionsThe main improvements in physical capacities occurred during the preparation period, when the aerobic fitness and the ability to sustain high-intensity intermittent efforts were moderately-to-largely improved. However, it appears that the preparation period does not PLOS ONE PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.

“…In fact, over the past years, there have been several studies documenting match-play demands in basketball [4,5,2,6,10,3,11,12,13,14,15,16,7,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,9,25,26,27,28]. Particularly, a recent review by Stojanovic et al [29] analyzed the activity demands and physiological responses obtained during basketball competition and found that playing period, playing position, level, geographical location and sex greatly influenced the stress experienced by basketball players. In their article Stojanovic et al [29] examined heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration, total distance, and movement patterns of male and female basketball competitions based on time-motion analysis.…”

Basketball is a court-based team-sport that requires a broad array of demands (physiological, mechanical, technical, tactical) in training and competition which makes it important for practitioners to understand the stress imposed on the basketball player during practice and match-play. Therefore, the main aim of the present systematic review is to investigate the training and match-play demands of basketball in elite, sub-elite, and youth competition. A search of five electronic databases (PubMed, SportDiscus, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane) was conducted until December 20 th , 2019. Articles were included if the study: (i) was published in English; (ii) contained internal or external load variables from basketball training and/or competition; and (iii) reported physiological or metabolic demands of competition or practice. Additionally, studies were classified according to the type of study participants into elite (20), sub-elite (9), and youth (6). A total of 35 articles were included in the systematic review. Results indicate that higher-level players seem to be more efficient while moving on-court. When compared to sub-elite and youth, elite players cover less distance at lower average velocities and with lower maximal and average heart rate during competition. However, elite-level players have a greater bandwidth to express higher velocity movements. From the present systematic review, it seems that additional investigation on this topic is warranted before a "clear picture" can be drawn concerning the acceleration and deceleration demands of training and competition. It is necessary to accurately and systematically assess competition demands to provide appropriate training strategies that resemble match-play.
