Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between performance tests (i.e., jumping ability, strength, sprint and change of direction ability) and dynamic postural control in young basketball players. Twenty-three young basketball players participated in this study and performed measurements of dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance Test [SEBT]), countermovement jump (CMJ), broad long jump (BLJ), 4×9-m shuttle run, agility T test (TT), Illinois agility test (IAT), 20-m sprint and lower extremity muscle strength. Significant association was observed between balance (at medial direction) and strength performance (r = 0.523, p < 0.05). Significant positive correlations were detected between directions of SEBT and BLJ (r = -0.466 to -0.479, p < 0.05), 4×9-m shuttle run (r = -0.403 to 0.486, p < 0.05), TT (r = -0.410, p < 0.05), IAT (r = 0.435, p < 0.05) and sprint (r = -0.402 to 0.452, p < 0.05). Postural control is more in relation to change of direction ability, sprint and power performance in basketball athletes.

Resumen

Este estudio investigó la relación entre las pruebas de rendimiento y el control postural dinámico en jóvenes jugadores de baloncesto. Veintitrés jóvenes jugadores de baloncesto participaron en este estudio y realizaron mediciones de equilibrio dinámico (Prueba de Balance de Excursión Estrella [SEBT]), salto de contramovimiento (CMJ), salto largo en longitud (BLJ), lanzamiento de 4 × 9 m, test T de agilidad (TT), prueba de agilidad de Illinois (IAT), sprint de 20 m y fuerza muscular de las extremidades inferiores. Se observó una asociación significativa entre el equilibrio (en la dirección medial) y el rendimiento de la fuerza (r = 0.523, p <0.05). Se detectaron correlaciones positivas significativas entre las direcciones de SEBT y BLJ (r = -0,466 a -0,479, p <0,05), carrera con cambios de sentido de 4 × 9 m (r = -0,403 a 0,486, p <0,05), TT (r = 0,410, p <0,05), IAT (r = 0,435, p <0,05) y sprint (r = -0,402 a 0,452, p <0,05). El control postural está altamente correlacionado con la capacidad de cambio de dirección, sprint y el rendimiento de potencia en los atletas de baloncesto.
