Preparation of Sports Reserves in Basketball

Abstract

The purpose of the study. Identify the main aspects of the implementation of physical and technical training of young basketball players.

Materials and methods. The following tests were used for the research,: movement in a protective rack, passing the ball into the wall with two hands from the chest and with one hand from the shoulder for 30 s at a distance of 2 m from the wall, free throws, throws in the jump, complex exercise consisting of running, handing, catching, dribbling and throwing the ball into the basket, running at 20 m, standing long jump, two-legged vertical jump height, running 3x4 s on the basketball court after 1 minute of rest, assessment of the physical development of basketball players (height, weight, dynamometry, spirometry) according to the generally accepted methodology. All tests meet the basic criteria of test theory. A detailed description of the tests can be found in the works of Koryahin V. (1998).

Results of research and discussion. Compared to other sports (especially volleyball players), highly qualified basketball players have low relative jumping height – 53.20 cm. Naturally, this affects the absolute height of jumping. In principle, the height of the jump in basketball players stabilizes up to 18 years.  A similar pattern is observed in the indicators of 6 and 20-metre running and standing two-legged vertical jumping.

Conclusions. Studies of the technical and physical fitness of young basketball players aged 11-19 have shown that they are generally at a lower level than recommended by existing programs. The optimal ones include, first of all, the indicators shown by young men aged 18-19. 

Along with the introduction of normative indicators in full of physical and technical training, the rational allocation of time for all types of training over the years of training will make it possible to increase significantly the level and efficiency of work in terms of long-term training of young basketball players.
