Average Game Physical Demands and the Most Demanding Scenarios of Basketball Competition in Various Age Groups

The purpose of this study was to compare average physical demands and the most demanding 60-s scenarios basketball match-play between five different age groups. Sixty-four male players from groups were monitored across eight regular-season home games. Physical examined using a local positioning system included total distance covered, >18 km·h<sup>-1</sup>, number accelerations (?2 m·s<sup>-2</sup>) decelerations (?-2 m·s<sup>-2</sup>). All four game performance variables increased significantly (58.4 - 639.2%) when calculated with rolling techniques in comparison demand values. Furthermore, current investigation found that while Under-12 presented highest result relative covered (p < .001; effect size = 0.58-2.01), they also showed lowest values match play small-to-moderate sizes compared their older counterparts.
