Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2005, Vol 15, Issue 30
Abstract
Introduction. Current data allows to pinpoint the main factors determining game effectiveness in basketball. They include: body size and body proportions, muscle structure, anaerobic power and mental traits. Among motor abilities speed, agility, explosive and maximal strength of the lower and upper limbs are most often listed as crucial for success in basketball. The purpose of the work. Morphological predispositions are among the most important determinants of success of many sport disciplines. Current data indicate that basketball players are significantly taller than the average population. It thus seems very important to determine which morphological and structural traits significantly differentiate young basketball players from the general population thus giving them high predictability in the selection process.Material and methods. The man objective of this research was to evaluate the morphological and structural potential of young basketball players what can significantly improve the selection and training process. The research material included 3 age groups of basketball players (13-14, 15-16, 17-18 years old) with egual control groups composed of non athletes. All subjects were submited to anthropometric measurements from which several indices were calculated.Results. The results indicate that basketball players differ significantly in most anthropometric variables from the general population. This data should be applied in the selection process of young talents in basketball.
