Description
Summary:Changes in the levels and the dynamics in the development of anaerobic capabilities are of utmost importance in basketball – a sport with intermittent and speed-strength characteristics. The objective of the study is to establish the anthropometric and anaerobic profile of elite basketball players from the national team of women up to 20 years of age. This profile will help the future selection, forecasting and the refinement of the training methodology for the preparation of elite basketball players of this age group, In order to solve the identified tasks, we have used the following methods of study: anthropometrics, BMI, cycle-ergometrics, and mathematics-statistical methods (variational and correlations analyses). As a result of the carried-out training process, between the two tests we have noticed statistically reliable changes in the AcTM (active total body mass), PRMM (percentage of the muscle mass out of the total), PP (peak power), and AnP (average anaerobic power). Based on the conducted research, a model was created for the assessment of the studied morphofunctional indicators and the anaerobic capabilities of under-20 y.o. women basketball players, for their participation in a European Championship.
