Abstract
The aim of the study was to establish possible differences in both
aerobic and anaerobic fitness parameters among different positions (point
guards, guards and small forwards, and power forwards and centers) in
basketball. Based on previous research on certain differences among play
positions in basketball, aerobic and anaerobic fitness capacity values of
basketballers in different positions were analyzed. Seventy adult basketball
players (age 24.37±4.05 years) from the Croatian Division 1 league were
classified as point guards (n=20), shooting guards and small forwards (n=26),
and power forwards and centers (n=24). Six
variables of cardiopulmonary function were obtained using spirometry and
spiroergometry test. Regarding aerobic abilities, a significant
difference among the three positions was found only in the VO2max
parameters (p=.00) in favor of power forwards and centers (5.55± 0.6 l/min) when compared
to point guards (4.7±
0.6 l/min) and shooting guards and small forwards (5.01±0.6 l/min). No
significant difference was found in the Croatian basketballers’ anaerobic
capacity parameters among the three different play positions.
期刊介绍:
Kinesiology – International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology (print ISSN 1331- 1441, online ISSN 1848-638X) publishes twice a year scientific papers and other written material from kinesiology (a scientific discipline which investigates art and science of human movement; in the meaning and scope close to the idiom “sport sciences”) and other adjacent human sciences focused on sport and exercise, primarily from anthropology (biological and cultural alike), medicine, sociology, psychology, natural sciences and mathematics applied to sport in its broadest sense, history, and others. Contributions of high scientific interest, including also results of theoretical analyses and their practical application in physical education, sport, physical recreation and kinesitherapy, are accepted for publication. The following sections define the scope of the journal: Sport and sports activities, Physical education, Recreation/leisure, Kinesiological anthropology, Training methods, Biology of sport and exercise, Sports medicine and physiology of sport, Biomechanics, History of sport and Book reviews with news.
