Abstract

The final result of a competition is conditioned by different factors (e.g., age, experience, competitive level) that affect the athlete’s performance. This performance may changes throughout the season depending on different variables related to training. The objectives of this research were to know the physical performance profiles of the players in different physical fitness tests grouped by their game position and to analyse the relationships between the results of the physical tests and the technical-tactical performance indicators obtained in competition. To do this, an elite female team was analysed and performed a centripetal force test, an anaerobic capacity test and two lower body strength tests. The results have shown that in women’s basketball the players have physical fitness profiles adapted to the demands of the game. In addition, Technical-tactical performance in women’s basketball is related to the physical fitness profile of the players. The 2-Point Shots Annotated (p=0.35) negatively correlated with the Explosive Distance of the anaerobic test. The 3-Point Shots Annotated correlate with the Explosive Distance of the anaerobic test (p=.007) and the Right Arch test (p=.015). Total Rebounds correlate with the Explosive Distance of the anaerobic test (p=.001) and MultiJump test Impulse (p=.036) and the Free Throws Scored with Time of the Left Arch test (p=.023). Therefore, the physical level obtained by the players in the physical fitness tests affects both the performance indicators and the final result of the competition that they obtain individually.

Resumen

El resultado final de una competición está condicionado por diferentes factores (por ejemplo, edad, experiencia, nivel competitivo) que afectan el rendimiento del atleta. Este rendimiento puede experimentar cambios a lo largo de la temporada dependiendo de diferentes variables relacionadas con el entrenamiento. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron conocer los perfiles de rendimiento físico de los jugadores en diferentes pruebas de condición física agrupadas por su posición de juego y analizar las relaciones entre los resultados de las pruebas físicas y los indicadores de rendimiento técnico-táctico obtenidos en competición. Para ello, se analizó un equipo femenino de élite que realizó una prueba de fuerza centrípeta, una prueba de capacidad anaeróbica y dos pruebas de fuerza de tren inferior. Los resultados han demostrado que en el baloncesto femenino las jugadoras tienen perfiles físicos de acondicionamiento físico adaptados a las demandas del juego. Además, el rendimiento técnico-táctico en el baloncesto femenino está relacionado con el perfil de aptitud física de las jugadoras. Los Lanzamientos Anotados de 2 puntos (p=0.35) correlaciona negativamente con la Distancia Explosiva del test anaeróbico. Los Lanzamientos Anotados de 3 puntos correlaciona con la Distancia Explosiva del test anaeróbico (p=.007) y del test del Arco Derecha (p=.015). Los Rebotes Totales correlacionan con la Distancia Explosiva del test anaeróbico (p=.001) e Impulso test MultiJump (p=.036) y los Tiros Libres Anotados con Tiempo del test del Arco Izquierda (p=.023). Por lo tanto, el nivel físico obtenido por los jugadores en las pruebas de condición física afecta tanto a los indicadores de rendimiento como al resultado final de la competición que obtienen individualmente.
