Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2010, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The main goal of this research is to examine the importance of different kind of passes through their frequency of appearance and success that male and female basketball players execute in Greek championships. The sample consisted of male and female teams of Thessaloniki - Greece. The 1st group consisted of male teams (18 from different divisions) while the 2nd group consisted of female teams (10). Data collection was based on personal observation by a research team, who registries the kind of passes that took place either from the sample team or the opposite teams. The passes that were registered are: behind the back, chest, overhead, push, hand with hand, bounce and baseball pass. The analysis of variance (Anova) in types of passes was formed, based on the factor “sex” (male-female). Specifically the comparisons were made between: a) the total number of each pass b) their successful number c) their frequency of appearance d) and their total successful percentage. The results indicate that statistically significant differences exist between the two sexes, concerning the total number, the successful number and the percentages of success for the most used passes in Greek basketball. The analysis indicates that male and female basketball players tend to use different kind of passes during activity.
