  • The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
    The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

  • Analysis of Different Types of Turnovers Between Winning and Losing Performances in Men’S NCAA Basketball
    한국컴퓨터정보학회논문지 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information Vol. 25 No. 7, pp. 135-142, July 2020 JKSCI https://doi.org/10.9708/jksci.2020.25.07.135 Analysis of different types of turnovers between winning and losing performances in men’s NCAA basketball 1)Doryung Han*, Mark Hawkins**, HyongJun Choi*** *Honorary principal professor, Major of Security secretary Studies Continuing Education Center, Kyonggi University, Seoul, Korea **Head coach, Performance Analysis of Sport, University of Wales, UK ***Associate Professor, Dept. of Physical Education (Performance Analysis in Sport), Dankook University, Yongin, Korea [Abstract] Basketball is a highly complex sport, analyses offensive and defensive rebounds, free throw percentages, minutes played and an efficiency rating. These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).

  • Physical and Physiological Profiles of Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacities
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Physical and Physiological Profiles of Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacities in Young Basketball Players David Mancha-Triguero 1,*, Javier García-Rubio 1 , Antonio Antúnez 2 and Sergio J. Ibáñez 1 1 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Universidad de Extremadura, 10071 Cáceres, Spain; [email protected] (J.G.-R.); [email protected] (S.J.I.) 2 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Extremadura, 06071 Badajoz, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 January 2020; Accepted: 18 February 2020; Published: 21 February 2020 Abstract: Current trends in the analysis of the physical fitness of athletes are based on subjecting the athlete to requirements similar to those found in competition. Regarding physical fitness, a thorough study of the capacities that affect the development of team sports in different ages and gender is required since the demands are not equivalent. The objective of this paper was to characterize the physical-physiological demands of athletes in an aerobic and anaerobic test specific to basketball players, as well as the evolution of the variables according to age and gender. The research was carried out in 149 players from different training categories (n = 103 male; n = 46 female). The athletes performed two field tests that evaluated both aerobic capacity and lactic anaerobic capacity. Each athlete was equipped with an inertial device during the tests. Sixteen variables (equal in both tests) were analyzed. Three of them evaluated technical-tactical aspects, four variables of objective internal load, six kinematic variables of objective external load (two related to distance and four related to accelerometry) and three neuromuscular variables of objective external load.
