Abstract
Purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationship between match characteristics, two field tests and an anaerobic and aerobic laboratory test in basketball players and to determine which method of testing (field or laboratory) does better reflect match characteristics. Time motion analyses of four quarters out of two matches were carried out for twenty-one youth elite basketball players (age 17,50 ± 1,56 years, body mass 82,50 ± 9,75 kg, height 192,13 ± 7,70 em and body fat 9,21 ± 3,50 %). Players also performed the Interval Shuttle Sprint Test (ISST), Interval Shuttle Run Test (ISRT), a 30s Wingate test (WanT) and a test to determine maximal oxygen uptake (V02max). Interrelations between all exercise modes were examined. Players' peak and total sprint time on the ISST was 8,5 ± 0,29s and 26,3 ± 0,91s respectively and they scored 106,5 ± 24,72 runs on the ISRT. WanT peak power and mean power output was 17,1 ± 2,22 W/kg and 9,6 ± 0,70 W/kg respectively and their V02max was 56,7 ± 4,87 ml/min/kg. Significant correlations were found between game sprinting and peak and total sprint time of the ISST (r = 0,63 and r = 0,59; p < 0,05 respectively) and between ISRT and V02max (r = 0,61; p < 0,05). Although trends were found for the relation between game performance and ISRT and for the ISST and the WanT, none of these correlations were significant. These findings show that the ISST may be used as a basketball specific field test and that the ISST and ISRT in general, better reflect match characteristics in basketball than laboratory tests.
