Time and reglamentary analysis during high level wheelchair basketball competition: training conclusions

Abstract

Uno de los aspectos fundamentales para determinar la exigencia física en un deporte colectivo es el análisis de la duración de las acciones de juego, las pausas reglamentarias y su origen. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la incidencia de las fases de juego y de pausa en el baloncesto en silla de ruedas, así como la duración y frecuencia de los eventos que generan dichas pausas. Se realizó una observación sistemática con un instrumento de registro desarrollado ad hoc sobre un total de 24 partidos de BSR de alto nivel, en los que participaron 17 equipos. 56959 s fueron analizados, registrándose de media por partido de 4773±567 s, distribuidos en 80,5±14,2 fases de participación y 77±14,7 fases de pausa, siendo su duración 29±25 s y 30±39 s, respectivamente. El 47,1% de las fases de participación duraron menos de 20 s y solo el 11,8% duró más de 60 s. El 50,1% de las fases de pausa fue menor a 20 s y solo el 9,9% fue superior a 60 s. Las faltas personales y las fueras de banda fueron las incidencias reglamentarias que más pausas desencadenaron (85,4% del total). Estos datos proporcionan información crucial a los entrenadores para encuadrar el entrenamiento físico con el fin de replicar la exigencia específica del deporte del baloncesto en silla de ruedas de élite. One of the key factors while determining physical effort in a collective sport is the analysis of the duration of game actions, reglamentary pauses and their origin. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of the game and pause phases in wheelchair basketball, as well as the duration and frequency of events triggering those pauses. A systematic observation was carried using an ad hoc observational instrument on a total of 24 high level WB matches, where 17 teams participated. 56959 s were analyzed, with an average of 4773±567 s per game, distributed in 80.5±14.2 game action phases and 77±14.7 pause phases, being their duration 29±25 s and 30±39 s, respectively. 47,1% of game situations took less than 20 s and just the 11,8% took more than 60 s. The 50,1 % of the pause phases were shorter than 20 s and just the 9,9% was superior to 60 s. Personal faults and out of bounds were the regulation incidences which developed more pause phases (85,4% of the total). These data provide crucial information to the coaches to frame physical training in order to replicate sport specific exigency of elite wheelchair basketball.

Sequential analysis of the construction of shots in wheelchair basketball and efficiency by player classification level

“…In contrast to this reduced presence in ambulant basketball, in our study an important presence of the intermediate zone is observed aligns with the results of Vanlandewijck et al (2004). Again, with the proxemical analysis of the defensive field, but in this case linked to the zone dimension, the relevance in wheelchair basketball of short duration sequences and counterattack is evident (Pérez-Tejero et al, 2020). Specifically, it has been detected that the presence of the defensive outside favours effective counterattack situations, like what happens in ambulant basketball (Ortega & Gómez, 2009); whereas the defensive intermediate zone presents effective and ineffective situations; and defensive paint is revealed as an ineffective zone for initiating a counterattack coinciding with the results of Refoyo and colleagues (2009) in ambulant basketball.…”

“…Regarding the retrospective analysis of the dimension Start of the sequence, the results show the relationship of the defensive field with efficacy present in fast and counterattack sequences (Pérez-Tejero et al, 2020). This efficacy is not as clear from the defensive paint.…”

“…Effective sequences have also been characterized in sequences constituted by a single pass and begins with a recovery or a rebound. These single pass situations are related to the counterattack and the usual fast sequences in wheelchair basketball (Pérez-Tejero et al, 2020). In ambulant basketball, recoveries and defensive rebounds in this order are the most common forms of initiation of counterattacks (Refoyo et al, 2009), and are more effective when they initiate recovery (Lorenzo et al, 2010;Sampaio et al, 2010).…”

“…Match analysis has also been carried out in the field of wheelchair basketball (Francis et al, 2019a(Francis et al, , 2019bGómez et al, 2014;Mason et al, 2018;Pérez-Tejero & Pinilla, 2015;Pérez-Tejero et al, 2020), in which the analysis of the effectiveness of the game is carried out in the manner of elite basketball (Alsasua et al, 2018;Troyano et al, 2018). As in basketball, shooting is the way to obtain points, the success of the shot becomes a key aspect in the analysis of the effectiveness of the game.…”

“…Además, aportan una gran cantidad de información, motivo por el cual han sido analizados en diferentes modalidades deportivas, como el fútbol (Sánchez-Murillo et al, 2021), el tenis (Escudero-Tena et al, 2020), o, el baloncesto convencional (Puente et al, 2015). De la misma manera, en los últimos tiempos, se ha desarrollado el estudio de indicadores de rendimiento en modalidades deportivas para personas con discapacidad, como en Fútbol-7 para personas con parálisis cerebral (Gamonales et al, 2019;Peña-González et al, 2021), Fútbol para personas con ceguera o discapacidad visual (Muñoz-Jiménez et al, 2022), Goalball para personas con ceguera (Muñoz-Jiménez et al, 2021), Rugby en Silla de Ruedas (Gámez-Calvo et al, 2021), o Baloncesto en Silla de Ruedas (en adelante, BSR), para personas con movilidad reducida (Pérez-Tejero & Pinilla-Arbex, 2015).…”
