Specific Absolute Velocity Thresholds during Male Basketball Games Using Local Positional System; Differences between Age Categories

The aim of this study was (I) to establish absolute specific velocity thresholds during basketball games using local positional system (LPS) and (II) compare the speed profiles between various levels competitions. variables recorded were total distance (TD); meters per minute (m·min); real time (min); maximum (Km h−1), (m), percentage distance, duration invested in four zones (standing–walking; jogging; running; high-speed running). Mean standard deviation (±SD) calculated, a separate one-way analysis variance undertaken identify differences TD (3188.84 ± 808.37 m) is covered by standing–walking (43.51%), jogging (36.58%), running (14.68%), sprinting (5.23%) activities. Overall, 75.22% standing–walking, (18.43%), (4.77%), (1.89%). M·min (large effect size), % zone 2 (moderate size); 4 (very large size) are significantly higher junior than senior. However, 1 largely senior competition. findings reveal that most play spent walking standing In addition, proportion at elevated intensities
