Book Improving Practice and Performance in Basketball

Download or read book Improving Practice and Performance in Basketball written by Aaron T. Scanlan and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being one of the most popular sports worldwide, basketball has received limited research attention compared to other team sports. Establishing a strong evidence base with high-quality and impactful research is essential in enhancing decision-making processes to optimize player performance for basketball professionals. Consequently, the book entitled Improving Performance and Practice in Basketball provides a collection of novel research studies to increase the available evidence on various topics with strong translation to practice in basketball. The book includes work by 40 researchers from 16 institutions or professional organizations from 9 countries. In keeping with notable topics in basketball research, the book contains 2 reviews focused on monitoring strategies to detect player fatigue and considerations for travel in National Basketball Association players. In addition, 8 applied studies are also included in the book, focused on workload monitoring, game-related statistics, and the measurement of physical and skill attributes in basketball players. This book also has a strong focus on increasing the evidence available for female basketball players, who have traditionally been under-represented in the literature. The outcomes generated from this book should provide new insights to inform practice in many areas for professionals working in various roles with basketball teams.

Download or read book Impact of Training Patterns on Incidence of Illness and Injury During a Women s Basketball Season written by Laura J. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to monitor the training pattens throughout a basketball season in order to determine if a relationship exists between the physical stress of practice and the occurrence of injuries and illnesses in NCAA Division I11 athletes. Ss consisted of college women (N = 12). ranging in age from 18-22 yrs. A Certified Athletic Trainer distributed a questionnaire following each practice, including 2 weeks of preseason, documenting the presence of injury and/or illness relative to the intensity and duration of practice. Training load, training monotony, and training strain were computed using the session RPE method. An increase in injuries occured during times of increased training loads, particularly during the first 2 weeks of formal practice, and immediately subsequent to the holidays. The temporal relationship between training load and injury suggests a causative link (p

Book Functional Training Handbook

Download or read book Functional Training Handbook written by Craig Liebenson and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2014 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Training has many different connotations depending on one's perspective. Traditionally, for healthy individuals or athletes it focused on strength, flexibility, or cardiovascular training. Such training would normally be supervised by a personal fitness trainer or strength and conditioning (S&C) coach . This book promotes a different approach in that the aim of training is to promote athletic development (1,2). From the perspective of sustainable athletic development, training is not limited to strength, flexibility or cardiovascular domains, but also focuses on the fundamental A,B,Cs of agility, balance, and coordination as a foundation for enhanced movement literacy (3)"--Provided by publisher.

Book Training Patterns and Illness During a Men s Collegiate Basketball Season

Download or read book Training Patterns and Illness During a Men s Collegiate Basketball Season written by Lori L. Gottschall and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to follow training patterns and the incidence of injury and illness in members of the 1998-99 University of Wisconsin-La Crosse men's basketball team during a competitive playing season. Additionally, a Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and a heart rate (HR) based method of monitoring training intensity were compared. Adult male athletes (18-23 yr) participated in the study (N = 14). The relationships among illnesses/injuries, training load (weekly average), training monotony (daily mean/standard deviation), and training strain (load*monotony) were determined. The HR scores were summated into 5 training zones and converted into points. They were then compared to the points generated from the session RPE method. It was observed that a high percentage of illness/injury occurred during the first 2 weeks of the basketball season, possibly due to high values of both training load and strain at this time. The HR method for monitoring training load paralleled the RPE method of recording exercise training intensities. These results suggest that the use of the RPE and HR method are both valid and useful tools to monitor exercise training intensity, not only in individual sports, but also in team sports (e.g., basketball).

Book A Longitudinal Investigation Into Well being and the Influence of Injury and Perceived Exertion on Female Basketball Players

Download or read book A Longitudinal Investigation Into Well being and the Influence of Injury and Perceived Exertion on Female Basketball Players written by Allison Columbus and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athlete mental health and associated components (e.g., ill-being, role of the coach, mental health literacy) have become a focal point in athletics and research, however, little attention has been given to positive mental health (i.e., well-being). The primary objective of this study was to observe variation in university athlete well-being. A secondary purpose was to assess the influence of injury and internal training load (i.e., RPE) on athlete well-being. Using a non-experimental longitudinal research design, female university basketball players (N = 11; Mage = 20.29 years) provided self-report data via the mobile application AthleteMonitoringTM for 22 consecutive weeks. Well-being was assessed using the 7-item Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS; Stewart-Brown et al., 2008). Injury and internal training load data was collected via self-report. Athletes reported 'average' well-being across the 22-week data collection period based on SWEMWBS scores (M = 22.76; SD = 1.98). Repeated-measures Analysis of Variance indicated statistically significant differences in well-being (F(3.54, 35.42) = 3.24, p = .027; np2 = .25). Magnitude-based differences showcased considerable variability in individual athlete's well-being trajectories over 22 weeks. SWEMWBS scores did not differ by injury status of the athlete, nor were they predicted by internal training load. Given the interpretation of aggregate scores and individual trajectories in this study, it is clear that university female basketball athletes experience fluctuations in their well-being. The results of this study support the need for further investigation into athlete well-being and more specifically, the aspects that influence it.
