209 professional volleyball and basketball players from sports clubs localized in six Silesian cities were survived with the mean of author questionnaire. The aim of this study was to assess dietary behaviours of professional volleyball and basketball players and compare the prevalence of correct behaviours in both groups. It is also necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system and determines the rate of regeneration after physical effort.
Correct nutrition affects the strength of the muscles and the extension of capacity. In sports, such as basketball and volleyball, players must demonstrate the speed, strength, stamina and concentration. SzczepaÅ„ska, Elzbieta SpaÅ‚kowska, Agnieszka Moreover, basketball players having symmetrical motor performance of both hands, which was found in this study, can indirectly explain the more frequent usage of the non-dominant left hand in basketball players. The current study implies that not only sensorimotor information but also participation of long-term sports activity can modify interlimb difference. Although the aiming task used in this study is not a basketball specific task, basketball players still displayed better performance compared to non-athletes in both accuracy and HPDL. No interlimb differences for basketball players but significant asymmetrical performance for non-athletes were observed. Two kinematic parameters depicting motor performance asymmetries were measured: accuracy and hand path deviation from linearity (HPDL). Professional right-handed female basketball players and age-matched non-athletes were asked to reach one of three targets in a virtual reality environment setup with either their non-dominant or dominant hand. The aim of the study was to test whether participation of long-term basketball training influences interlimb difference and also observed more accurate and more frequent usage of the non-dominant hand in basketball players that can be explained by some kinematic variables during an aiming task. However, there is no quantitative data to explain this phenomenon. Elite basketball players use their left non-dominant hand more accurately and more frequently during the game compared to amateurs. In many sports, it is always desirable to have the similar performance of both hands to adapt to the fast changes of the game. Hand preference can be influenced by some factors like sensory information and sports participation. 77ĭecreased interlimb differences in female basketball players. Player age and BMI did not significantly differ depending on vitamin D status (P =. Player height and weight were significantly increased in vitamin D-sufficient players compared with players who were not sufficient (P =. Among the players who were deficient, insufficient, and sufficient, the average vitamin D levels were 16.1 ± 2.1 ng/mL, 25.0 ± 3.4 ng/mL, and 41.6 ± 8.6 ng/mL, respectively. Among all players included, the average vitamin D level was 25.6 ± 10.2 ng/mL. A total of 221 players (79.3%) were either vitamin D deficient or insufficient.
There were 90 players (32.3%) who were deficient, 131 players (47.0%) who were insufficient, and 58 players (20.8%) who were sufficient. After institutional review board approval was submitted to the NBA, the NBA released deidentified data on 279 players who participated in the combines from 2009 through 2013. LD performance decreased significantly post-game (from 26.7+/-1.3 to 27.7+/-2.7s, p32 ng/mL). The same test battery was replicated after an experimental basketball game in order to assess selective effect of fatigue on physical performance.
Lower limb explosive strength and anaerobic-capacity was assessed using vertical jumps (CMJ), 15m shuttle running sprint (15mSR) and line drill (LD), respectively. Twenty-two male basketball players (means+/-S.D., body mass 72.4+/-11.4kg, height 181.7+/-6.9cm, age 16.8+/-2.0 years) were tested for maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)), ventilatory threshold (VT) and running economy (RE) on a motorized treadmill. The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological correlates of the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) in basketball players.
