Background and purpose Purpose. To improve the tactical interaction of players in 3x3 basketball at the stage of specialized basic training based on the use of specific improvisational exercises, ...taking into account the specifics of the players’ competitive activity. Material and methods Two groups of basketball players at the stage of specialized basic training, 12 athletes each, took part in the research, taking into account the lack of reliability of differences in the analysed indicators at the beginning of the study (р>0,05). All participants gave an informed consent to partake in this experiment. Descriptive statistics (arithmetic means in groups (M), mean square deviations (SD), errors of arithmetic means (m)) were calculated for each dependent variable. The Student's t-test was used to estimate the probability of differences in one feature before and after the experiment, provided that the data had a normal distribution. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test (Z test) was used in case of non-compliance with the normal distribution of the data of two dependent samples. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the differences between the results of two independent samples in different tests. Results The analysis of the dynamics of changes in the teams’ game performance (the changes were revealed in the process of analysing video recordings of games in 3x3 format competition) showed that the EG players increased the number of attacks per game to 20.20±2.59 and improved their performance to 12.00±2.45, which was 59.05% of efficiency. Indicators in CG remained almost unchanged, and the efficiency equalled 50.25%. The comparison of changes in all indicators in the groups after the experiment still has no statistical difference (the number of attacks - t = 0.819 at p = 0.444; of them effective - t = 1.671 at p = 0.146; in terms of effectiveness - t = 1.632 at p = 0.154). Conclusions Our proposed option for improving the tactical interactions of 3x3 basketball players, which was based on the use of specific improvisational exercises for 12 weeks’ period, had a positive effect on basketball players’ tactical preparedness, increasing the effectiveness of their game performance during competitive games.
PURPOSE: In the preparation for competitions in 3 x 3 basketball some peculiarities in technical and
tactical terms are observed.
METHODS: In the study we used content analysis and sports pedagogical ...observation.
RESULTS: Our observations showed that in attack the players are mainly looking for a pass from a teammate, fast shooting, mainly from the area behind the arc, inclusion in the fight for the ball bounced from the basket and a sharp transition to defence if the shooting is not successful. Interactions are short, often involving a pass, intersection or shelter, and long-range shooting. The main focus remains the individual game 1/1.
CONCLUSIONS: Individual technical and tactical training and aggression are the factors that decide the success of the competitions. In the preparation for 3x3 basketball competitions to focus on:
• The opening when passing between the players in case of aggressive defence;
• Game 1/1;
• Shooting behind the arc;
• Pick and roll.
The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among sprinting performance, change of direction ability (COD), change of direction deficit (CODD), and aerobic power expressed by ...maximal oxygen velocity (V
IFT), anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) as well as jumping performance (countermovement jump with (CMJa) and without an arm swing (CMJ)) in elite 3x3 basketball players. A total of 15 Polish Olympic 3x3 team players (age: 26.86 ± 8.28 years; body height: 191 ± 5.33 cm; body mass: 90.68 ± 10.03 kg, basketball experience: 15.53 ± 5.8 years) participated in the study. Athletes were tested for the following measures: the linear speed at the first section (5 m), the second section (9 m), the third section (10 m) and total distance (24 m), two sets; the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (first session); COD speed by the Change of Direction and Acceleration Test (CODAT) (the same sections and total distance as in the linear speed test), five repetitions, two sets; and jumping performance by the CMJ with and without an arm swing (second session). CODD was calculated by subtracting the COD speed time from linear speed time at adequate sections and total distance. Maximal sprinting speed (MSS), maximal aerobic velocity (V
IFT), and anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) were also considered. Anaerobic Speed Reserve (ASR) was calculated as the difference between MSS and V
IFT. A Pearson’s correlation test was used to determine the relationship between power-speed-related variables and CODD, final velocity attained at the 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (V
IFT), ASR, and COD performance. Moderate to strong correlations were registered between COD and linear speed at 5, 10, and 24 m, while moderate to strong negative correlations were detected between COD, CODD, and CMJ, CMJa. Moreover, moderate to strong correlations were observed between COD, CODD, and V
IFT, MSS at 9, 10, and 24 m sprints. No relationship was detected between COD, CODD, LS, and ASR in any measured sector. Finally, statistically significant differences were registered in COD and CODD between trial 1 and trial 2.
The study reveals the features of the regulation of special indicators of 3x3 basketball players at the World Junior Championships. The problem is that the increased popularity of 3x3 basketball is ...not supported and does not have a centralized training program. In preparation for participating in the final competitions, there was a need to develop a special training technique, and the choice of restorative means. Tasks: to develop a training program that ensures the regulation of the special performance of 3x3 basketball players for participation in the world championship among U23 teams. We analyzed the effectiveness of the program on the dynamics of competitive activity, evaluated the dynamics of body composition in three microcycles. Based on the results of bioimpedansometry, an assessment was made of the composition of the athlete's body, which affects the athlete’s performance and the dynamics of its main indicators in preparatory, main and auxiliary training cycles. The connection between the effectiveness of competitive activity and the ability to continue to work for a long time is shown.
In the game of basketball in general and in the game of 3x3 basketball, the emphasis is on general physical training and not on specific training, thus allowing the players to have a multilateral ...training. In order to facilitate the players' positional specialization, the paper aims to improve the body's main functions, allowing adaptation to effort and, at the same time, optimizing athletes' performances. The research that represents the premises of this paper is based on motricity, somato-functional and medical evidence and aims to identify, using predictive and corrective techniques with artificial intelligence (AI), the factors that contribute to the development of an adaptive sports training model for basketball players 3X3. Thus, the goal is to optimize the performance of 3X3 basketball players. By adapting the acquisition of somato-functional and motricity indices respectively, the training model can be applied in other individual or team sports.
The 3x3 basketball game is a relatively new sport with scarce information. This study aimed to differentiate the shooting situations of the 3x3 and 5-on-5 basketball games in elementary school and ...clarify the characteristics of the 3x3 game regarding the movement before the shot, shooting method and position. The merits of using the 3x3 game as a training tool for the 5-on-5 game and the points to keep in mind at that time were also examined.The participants were 20 healthy male elementary school students (age: 11.2±0.6 years, height: 146.5±7.6 cm, weight: 35.9±5.8 kg, competition history: 3.4±1.3 years) who belonged to mini-basketball clubs and practiced five days in a week. In the 3x3 basketball games, eight 6-minute games were played with rest periods in between. On the other hand, five 6-minute games were played in the 5-on-5 basketball games, also with rest periods in between.The results of this study were as follows: the 3x3 basketball game was characterized by more shots from outside the paint area in the “1-on-1” and “outside-catch-shot” scenarios. In the movement before the shot, there were many “outside play,” “ball clearing, check ball, ball carrying,” and “dribble drift” in the 3x3 games.The 3x3 basketball game may be a good training tool for children in Japan in the developing age groups who play the game, owing to its demand for 1-on-1 play and outside shot development. However, with the current rules of the game, the possibility of a single player monopolizing the ball cannot be ruled out; therefore, some modifications to the rules are necessary.
