Modification of Diurnal Cortisol Secretion in Women’s Professional Basketball. A Pilot Study

2021

Elite basketball training causes high levels of physiological stress, which can lead to negative physiological disorders in female athletes. The aim of this study was to establish the impact of physical activity on the rhythm of salivary cortisol secretion in elite female basketball players over one week. The population sample included 9 women professional basketball players. The control group was made up of 9 women who did not do any exercise. Saliva samples were collected from all participants at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on training days. Samples from the basketball group showed a significantly higher cortisol secretion. Moreover, from the second night, the pattern of cortisol secretion o…

‘White men can’t jump in a black basketball game?’ An exploratory investigation of implicit strategies of outgroup discrimination

The purpose is to identify participants’ perceptions and their appreciation as to whether or not black are superior to white basketball players. The theoretical framework employed is articulated around the theory of social categorization and racial stereotypes…

A Web Application for Interactive Visualization of European Basketball Data

2020

The statistical analysis of basketball games is a fast-growing field. Certainly, basketball data are scientifically relevant because an appropriate analysis provides a great deal of information about the performance of both players and teams. The number of games played each season generates a large amount of data worth analyzing. Basketball analytics is well established in U.S. leagues. In Europe, however, it has not been duly developed. This study focuses on the top three European team competitions: the EuroLeague, the EuroCup, and the Spanish ACB (Association of Basketball Clubs, acronym in Spanish) league. Their official websites provide access to game data for anyone who is interested, …

Impact of hip abductor and adductor strength on dynamic balance and ankle biomechanics in young elite female Basketball players

2022

This study aimed to evaluate, in an isolated and relative manner, hip abductor (ABD) and adductor (AD) strength and to study the extent to which these factors are related to balance and ankle dorsiflexion mobility in young elite female basketball players. Sixty trainee-level elite female basketball players (13–18 years old), who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, were divided into three subgroups based on competition age divisions (U14, U16, U18). Isometric hip ABD and AD strength in each leg was evaluated using the ForceFrame Strength Testing System, also calculating the strength ratio and imbalance between legs. Y Balance Test (YBT) and ankle dorsiflexion mobility were also a…

Physical demands during 3×3 international male and female basketball games are partially impacted by competition phase but not game outcome

2021

Despite the increased popularity and number of international competitions for 3 × 3 basketball, the precise physical demands of this sport are not well described. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the physical demands of 3 × 3 basketball games according to game outcome and competition phase. Following an observational design, video footage from 27 games were analysed from 104 international 3 × 3 basketball players (n = 52 male and n = 52 female players) belonging to 26 national teams (n = 13 male and n = 13 female teams) during the 2019 FIBA 3 × 3 World Cup. Manual frame-by-frame time-motion analyses were conducted to determine the relative frequency (n · min−1) and duration (% of liv…

For a socio-psychological approach of the concept of racial stacking

2015

AbstractResearch studies focusing on the relationships between team sports and socio- ethnicity have developed in the Anglo-Saxon literature since the 1970s. In particular the use of the concept of racial stacking confirms a growing interest in a more complex vision when it comes to player selection and positioning. In basketball, studies have identified that black players are overrepresented in the American professional basketball championships (NBA) and at the same time patterns of racial stacking exist as they are overrepresented at non-central positions. This research led to a survey of black players’ positions in the professional championships in France (Pro A basketball). Using social…

Kardiorespiratorās sistēmas funkcionālās kapacitātes salīdzinošs novērtējums jauniem basketbolistiem

2019

Šī darba mērķis bija novērtēt un salīdzināt jaunu basketbolistu kardiorespiratorās sistēmas funkcionālās kapacitātes rezultātus, veicot padziļinātu veloergometriskas slodzes testu, ar ikgadēji veiktā EUROFIT testa izmeklējumiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 13 U-17 jauniešu komandas basketbolisti. Pētījums tika veikts divās daļās - vienas sezonas laikā, tās sākumā un noslēgumā, tika veikts veloergometrijas slodzes tests, pakāpeniski palielinot pretestības jaudu pa 25W līdz basketbolistu atteikumam. Veloergometriskai slodzei tika izmantots Ergoline veloergometrs un kardiorespiratorā iekārta MasterScreen CPX Jaeger VO2max, gāzu maiņas, sirdsdarbības frekvences un arteriālā asinsspiediena analīzei. Jau…
