The Development Level оf тhe Special Endurance оf Elite Serbian Female Basketball Players Based оn the Results of a Modified “30-15Ift” Intermittent Test
Journal Title: Fizička kultura - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 2
Abstract
The article basically aims to present the applicability of the modified "30-15IFT" test on a sample of the senior women's national basketball team of Serbia. The technology we employed enabled us to acquire a number of parameters about the test as such and the study subjects' endurance. In addition to the level of development of specific indicators of the special endurance of female basketball players, we were interested in the differences between individual player types. The results show that after about 13 minutes of running the subjects on average achieved a maximum speed of 15.5 km/h, with a maximum heart rate of 187.4 beats·min-1, a maximum lactate concentration of 7.8 mmol-1, maximum relative oxygen uptake of 52.2 ml·min-1/kg-1, a maximum minute volume of exhaled carbon dioxide of 3473.5 ml·min-1 and a maximum lung ventilation of 117.6 l·min-1. In the last two variables statistically significant differences were found between individual types of players (guards, forwards and centers). The field "30-15IFT" intermittent fitness test proved to be suitable for assessing the current functional abilities of male and female basketball players and for identifying variations in their fitness in different periods of training. However, some issues concerning the applicability of the test for scientific and research purposes still have to be clarified.
