For nearly one hundred years, basketball has been an important part of Japanese American life.  Women’s basketball holds a special place in the contemporary scene of highly organized and ...expansive Japanese American leagues in California, in part because these leagues have produced numerous talented female players. Using data from interviews and observations, Nicole Willms explores the interplay of social forces and community dynamics that have shaped this unique context of female athletic empowerment. As Japanese American women have excelled in mainstream basketball, they have emerged as local stars who have passed on the torch by becoming role models and building networks for others.   
This two month study focused on a community pick-up basketball game that brought a group of strangers together weekly to play ball and recreate. The game provided a safe place to create belonging and ...the group formed a sense of community and kinship through this activity.
El objetivo del estudio ha sido comparar las características de los movimientos realizados por los jugadores de baloncesto, de acuerdo a la posición específica de juego, en jugadores de élite y ...semi-élite. Se seleccionaron 24 jugadores de baloncesto semi-elite U18 (Bases = 5; Aleros = 5; Pivots = 2) y jugadores de élite de clase mundial (Bases = 5; Aleros = 4; Pivots = 3), respectivamente. Las demandas físicas se evaluaron utilizando el sistema de posicionamiento local WIMU PRO (Realtrack Systems, Almería, España) durante los entrenamientos. Para observar las diferencias entre los jugadores de baloncesto semi-elite U18 y de élite de clase mundial desde diferentes posiciones se utilizó la prueba t de muestra independiente. Los resultados mostraron que los jugadores de baloncesto semi-elite U18, independientemente de la posición de juego, hicieron más movimientos de aceleración y desaceleración por minuto promedio que los jugadores de baloncesto de clase mundial. Además, los bases U18 tuvieron un mejor rendimiento en los perfiles de rendimiento de aceleración de fuerza g (ES = 0.88) y desaceleración (ES = 0.98) que los bases de clase mundial, al igual que los pivots españoles U18 (g- aceleración de fuerza, ES = 0.44; y desaceleración de fuerza g, ES = 0.53). Por el contrario, los aleros de clase mundial tuvieron un mejor rendimiento en aceleración máxima (ES = 0.42) y desaceleración (ES = 0.42) que los aleros U18. En conclusión, aparecieron diferencias en la distribución de las aceleraciones y desaceleraciones entre las posiciones de los jugadores, lo que sería importante al monitorear el entrenamiento y las cargas del juego y al prescribir ejercicios de entrenamiento específicos.
El objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar cuáles son los factores clave en el desarrollo del talento de tres jugadores de baloncesto chinos de élite y comprender qué hechos los han ayudado a ...alcanzar el nivel deportivo más alto. El camino hacia la excelencia de estos jugadores de baloncesto de élite chinos se analizó a través de una entrevista semiestructurada con diferentes categorías, como contexto social, contexto deportivo, factores tácticos o factores antropométricos. Los resultados mostraron que la “tradición familiar”, los estudios académicos, la influencia de los entrenadores, la estructuración de entrenamientos y las competiciones internacionales habían influido en el desarrollo del talento de los jugadores chinos de baloncesto
La monitorización de la carga externa aporta información valiosa a los profesionales y entrenadores sobre los requisitos físicos de la actividad desarrollada por sus jugadores, de acuerdo con su ...nivel de competencia, edad y género. Esta información se puede utilizar para individualizar los programas de entrenamiento y optimizar el tiempo invertido en ellos, haciendo que los entrenadores y jugadores sean más eficientes en el proceso. Esta revisión evalúa los resultados reflejados en la bibliografía existente sobre las medidas de carga externa en el deporte del baloncesto, sintetizándolas en un artículo para el lector científico. Los datos de 29 artículos científicos se han organizado y discutido, proporcionando información relevante sobre los objetivos y hallazgos, muestra, variables de medición y tecnología para monitorizar la carga externa en el baloncesto.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on sprint abilities. Young basketball players (N=33, Age=15-16) from OKK "Stari Ras" and OKK "Novi Pazar" from Novi Pazar ...were divided into two groups: an experimental group (EG, n=16; BH=185.45±8.75cm; BM=76.87±11.51kg) with training experience (TE=4.69 ±1.40 years) and a control group (CG; n=17; BH=184.16±6.93cm; BM=76.87±11.51kg) with training experience (TE=5.53±3.18 years). The EG was made up of the players from basketball team OKK "Stari Ras", who in addition to basketball trainings also took part in plyometric training. The CG was made up of the players from basketball team OKK "Novi Pazar", who at that time only took part in basketball trainings. To assess their sprint abilities, three tests were used: Sprint Speed at 5m (S5m), Sprint Speed at 10m (S10m), Sprint Speed at 20m (S20m). The measurement was done with the help of the photocells "Microgate", a parameter which was monitored and the processed time was read in 1/100s. The experimental program lasted for 10 weeks (2x per week). To determine the effect of plyometric training on the sprint abilities of young basketball players, the analysis of covariance ANCOVA was used. The results showed that the EG group achieved significantly greater progress than the CG group on the tests: S5m and S20m. There was no difference between the EG and CG group on the S10m test. Based on these results we concluded that plyometric training has positive effects on the development of sprint abilities in young basketball players.
The present study examined changes in tactical performance and self-efficacy among young female basketball players across a 4-months competitive season. Repeated measures preand post a 4-month season ...in 30 young female basketball players (11.4 to 14.7 years-old) was considered. We applied the Self-Efficacy General Scale and examined tactical performance in a standardized 3 vs 3 exercise in half court. The 3 vs 3 exercise was analysed using Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) and Team Sport Assessment Procedure (TSAP). We examined changes in tactical performance and self-efficacy using multilevel modelling. The results showed that changes of Self-Efficacy scores were not influenced by 4 months of training across competition period, chronological age and years of sport participation, the changes of TSAP performance was influenced only by years of sport participation, and the changes of GPAI performance was influenced only by the period of training and competition games.
Basketball is a court-based team-sport that requires a broad array of demands (physiological, mechanical, technical, tactical) in training and competition which makes it important for practitioners ...to understand the stress imposed on the basketball player during practice and match-play. Therefore, the main aim of the present systematic review is to investigate the training and match-play demands of basketball in elite, sub-elite, and youth competition. A search of five electronic databases (PubMed, SportDiscus, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane) was conducted until December 20th, 2019. Articles were included if the study: (i) was published in English; (ii) contained internal or external load variables from basketball training and/or competition; and (iii) reported physiological or metabolic demands of competition or practice. Additionally, studies were classified according to the type of study participants into elite (20), sub-elite (9), and youth (6). A total of 35 articles were included in the systematic review. Results indicate that higher-level players seem to be more efficient while moving on-court. When compared to sub-elite and youth, elite players cover less distance at lower average velocities and with lower maximal and average heart rate during competition. However, elite-level players have a greater bandwidth to express higher velocity movements. From the present systematic review, it seems that additional investigation on this topic is warranted before a "clear picture" can be drawn concerning the acceleration and deceleration demands of training and competition. It is necessary to accurately and systematically assess competition demands to provide appropriate training strategies that resemble match-play.
