Heart Rate Analysis of Semi-elite Female Basketball Players during Competitive Games
Vol.10,No.2(2016)
Knowledge of the intensity of load in basketball appears to be an essential factor in composing an effective training process. The aim of this work is to ascertain whether there were any significant differences in load intensity between player positions between 1st and 2nd half of a game in female basketball. 10 semi-elite female basketball players were included in this research. Total time of each player, in 3 intensity of load zones, was determined based on their HR max. Differences between the individual player positions or in % of HRmax (guards vs. forwards vs. centres; 88.2 ± 3.5 vs. 87.8 ± 3.1 vs. 88.9 ± 3.4) were neither statistically nor practically significant. Moreover, the differences between the 1st and 2nd half in the zones and % of HRmax (88.6 ± 3.4 vs. 88.3 ± 3.3) were not statistically significant and the practical significance had a small effect. These results can assist in the creation of a solid base for conditioning and also game-based training programs.
