Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between anaerobic and aerobic capacities and match activities in young elite basketball players. METHODS: Participants were 15 well-trained basketball players (age 17.9 ± 1.1 years; height 192.0 ± 8.5 em; weight 85.6 ± 9.6 kg). Anaerobic capacities were measured using a multiple Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) and an incremental treadmill test was used for the assessment of V02max. Semi-automatic time-motion analysis was performed during 2 competitive matches. RESULTS: WAnT maximal peak power and maximal mean power were 17.2 ± 1.49 W/kg-1 and 11.8 ± 1.00 W/kg-1 respectively and V02max was 50.2 ± 4.92 ml/min/kg-1 • During the games, players spent 9.40 ± 1.16% and 2.00 ± 0.79% of the time low-speed running and high-intensity running, respectively. During that time, they covered 25.1 ± 1.75% of the total distance in low-speed running and 7.1 ± 2.49% of the total distance in high-intensity running. Player with higher V02max values spent more time low-speed running and high-intensity running (r=0.673, p<.05; r=0.830, p<.01, respectively) and covered more distance in high-intensity running (r=0.782, p<.01). CONCLUSION: This study showed that players with higher aerobic capacities spent more time at velocities above 12 km/h-1 • They also covered more distance at high-intensity running in the match. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: These findings suggest the potential benefit of aerobic conditioning in young elite basketball players.
