Different Explosive Strength and Physiological Demands Between Male and Female Basketball Teams

Background. The several types of running in the team sports such as basketball, soccer and rugby, vary according to physical characteristics sports. In particular, basketball is characterized by continuous acceleration deceleration phases, which entails greater energy expenditure. This study aimed assess strength decrease lower limbs expenditure at different conditions (n=4) with/without ball during Linear Shuttle run (180°) two groups (male: n=15; female: n=15). Materials methods. Experimental approach required following tests/devices: Squat Jump before/after each test, a portable Metabolimeter was used metabolic parameters. T-test for independent samples Two-way repeated measures ANOVA significant differences variable between conditions. Results. Initial hypothesis has been confirmed, showing significantly (Linear Running with without ball) teams considered (male female). addition, increases even more compared ball. Conclusions. results this could be useful coaches optimize training load related gender (with ball), but also work young players relation abilities, skills experiences players.
