El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar los efectos de la manipulación de la regla del bote durante juegos reducidos de baloncesto (JR) en la configuración táctica 3x3 sin bote (JRSB), con limitación de dos botes (JR2B) y sin limitación de bote (JRB), sobre el desempeño técnico-táctico de jugadores de baloncesto sub-16. Participaron 18 atletas de baloncesto en 36 JR, 12 JRSB, 12 JR2B y 12 JRB. La duración de cada JR fue de 4 minutos con 4 minutos de recuperación. Los JR se realizaron en orden aleatorio y en media cancha de baloncesto (8,4x15m) utilizando un solo tablero. Se utilizó el Instrumento de Evaluación del Desempeño Técnico-Táctico Individual en Baloncesto para verificar los efectos de la manipulación de la regla del bote durante los JR. Los datos fueron tratados mediante estadística descriptiva y ecuaciones generales estimadas. El tamaño del efecto (TE) se calculó utilizando la V de Cramer. El valor crítico adoptado fue p≤0,05. Los resultados identificaron una diferencia significativa en el desempeño técnico-táctico entre los JR para la toma de decisiones (TD) y la efectividad (EFi) en el pase (TD: Wald=38.48; gl=2; p= .0001; V= .68; TE: grande. EFi: Wald= 38.41; gl=2; p= .0001; V= .69; TE: grande) y en el lanzamiento (TD: Wald=14.59; gl=2; p= .001; V= .09; TE: pequeno. EFi: Wald=10.82; gl=2; p= .004; V= .26; TE: médio). Se concluye que las tres manipulaciones de la regla del bote determinaron diferencias en el desempeño técnico-táctico de los jugadores de baloncesto que participaron en este estudio.

High School sophmore Annie Smith is just hoping to live a normal life after she moves from Arkansas to the quiet little town of Reston, Texas. But it does not take long for her new friends to figure out that Annie is anything but normal. Annie's goal is to fly under the radar drawing as little attention to herself as possible. But she soon discovers that being normal does not always bring happiness.

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar las asimetrías de miembros inferiores y su relación con el rendimiento de sprint lineal, potencia muscular y fuerza reactiva en basquetbolistas universitarios. Participaron 13 basquetbolistas universitarios (edad: 19.6 ± 1.7), se efectuaron evaluaciones de salto con caída (SC) desde un banco de 30cm, salto contramovimiento (CMJ) unilateral y sprint de 10 metros. Se midieron las variables de potencia relativa, índice de fuerza reactiva (IFR), altura del salto a una pierna y velocidad del sprint, se realizó una prueba t-test de muestras relacionadas para conocer las asimetrías del tren inferior, la r de Pearson para determinar la relación entre las asimetrías y el rendimiento en sprint y potencia e IFR, se determinó el puntaje Z para el análisis individual del comportamiento de las asimetrías y los distintos tópicos de rendimiento. Los resultados muestran la existencia de asimetrías en el tren inferior y una correlación entre estas y el sprint lineal, potencia muscular y fuerza reactiva. En conclusión, la existencia de asimetrías en los basquetbolistas universitarios impacta negativamente en el rendimiento del sprint lineal, generación de potencia y fuerza reactiva. The aim of this study was to know the existence of lower limb performance asymmetries and subsequently their relationship with sprint performance, muscle power and reactive strength in university basketball players. 13 university basketball players participated (Age: 19.6±1.7), the assessment of drop jump (30 cm) countermovement jump (CMJ) on one leg and sprint (10m) was performance. The variables of relative power, reactive force index. Height of the one-leg jump, and sprint speed were measured, a paired Studetnt’s t-test was performed to explore the asymmetries of the lower body. Pearson’s r for to determine the relationship between asymmetries and performance in sprint, muscle power and reactive strength index, was used the Z score for the individual analysis of the behavior of asymmetries and performance. The results show the existence of asymmetries in the lower body and a relationship between sprint, muscle power and reactive strength. In conclusion, the existence of asymmetries in university basketball players has a negative effect in   sprint performance, muscle power and reactive force. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar as assimetrias dos membros inferiores e a sua relação com o desempenho em sprint linear, a potência muscular e a força reativa em jogadores de basquetebol universitários. Participaram 13 jogadores universitários de basquetebol (idade: 19,6 ± 1,7). As avaliações foram realizadas no salto de queda (SC) a partir de um banco de 30 cm, salto com contramovimento unilateral (CMJ) e corrida de 10 metros. Foram medidas a potência relativa, o índice de força reativa (IFR), a altura do salto unipodal e a velocidade de corrida. Foi utilizado um teste t para amostras emparelhadas para determinar as assimetrias da parte inferior do corpo. O teste r de Pearson foi utilizado para determinar a relação entre as assimetrias e o desempenho em sprint, potência e IFR. Foram determinados os escores Z para análise individual de assimetrias e métricas de desempenho. Os resultados mostram a existência de assimetrias na parte inferior do corpo e uma correlação entre estas e a corrida linear, a potência muscular e a força reativa. Concluindo, a existência de assimetrias nos jogadores de basquetebol universitário impacta negativamente o desempenho de corrida linear, a geração de potência e a força reativa.

The aim of this study was to describe the physical demands during U18 elite basketball games according to the game quarter and to identify a smaller subset of variables and threshold scores that distinguish players' physical performance in each quarter. Data was collected from ninety-four players who participated in the study (age: 17.4 ± 0.74 years; height: 199.0 ± 0.1 cm; body mass: 87.1 ± 13.1 kg) competing in the Euroleague Basketball Next Generation Tournament. Players' movements during the games were measured using a portable local positioning system (LPS) (WIMU PRO®, Realtrack Systems SL, Almería, Spain) and included relative distance (total distance / playing duration), relative distance in established speed zones, high-intensity running (18.1-24.0 km·h-1) and sprinting (> 24.1 km·h-1). player load, peak speed (km·h-1) and peak acceleration (m·s-2) number of total accelerations and total decelerations, high intensity accelerations (> 2 m·s-2) and decelerations (< -2 m·s-2). There was an overall decrease in distance covered, player load, number of high intensity accelerations and decelerations between the first and last quarter of the games in all playing positions. A classification tree analysis showed that the first quarter had much influence of distance covered (above 69.0 meters), distance covered <6.0 km·h-1 and accelerations (> 2 m·s-2), whereas the fourth quarter performance had much influence of distance covered (below 69.0) and distance covered 12.1-18.0 km·h-1. A significant reduction in physical demands occurs during basketball, especially between first and last quarter for players in all playing positions during basketball games of under 18 elite players.

In 1939, a team of short, scrappy kids from a vocational school established specifically for Mexican Americans became the high school basketball champions of San Antonio, Texas. Their win, and the ensuing riot it caused, took place against a backdrop of shifting and conflicted attitudes toward Mexican Americans and American nationalism in the WWII era. \"Only when the Mexicans went from perennial runners-up to champs,\" García writes, \"did the emotions boil over.\" The first sports book to look at Mexican American basketball specifically,When Mexicans Could Play Ballis also a revealing study of racism and cultural identity formation in Texas. Using personal interviews, newspaper articles, and game statistics to create a compelling narrative, as well as drawing on his experience as a sports writer, García takes us into the world of San Antonio's Sidney Lanier High School basketball team, the Voks, which became a two-time state championship team under head coach William Carson \"Nemo\" Herrera. An alumnus of the school himself, García investigates the school administrators' project to Americanize the students, Herrera's skillful coaching, and the team's rise to victory despite discrimination and violence from other teams and the world outside of the school. Ultimately, García argues, through their participation and success in basketball at Lanier, the Voks players not only learned how to be American but also taught their white counterparts to question long-held assumptions about Mexican Americans.
