O presente estudo busca compreender como ocorreu o desenvolvimento da prática do basquetebol na cidade de Porto Alegre, desde a emergência nos clubes até a organização da Federação Gaúcha de Basquetebol. Tendo como referencial teóricometodológico a História Cultural, a construção da presente versão da história deste esporte, sustenta-se em fontes impressas tais como jornais, revistas, almanaques esportivos, livros comemorativos e acervos de entrevistas. A revisão bibliográfica e a análise documental das fontes históricas alicerçaram a contextualização da prática do basquetebol na cidade de Porto Alegre. Discorre-se sobre a introdução da prática do basquetebol nos clubes em meados da década de 1920, onde aos poucos passou a conquistar adeptos, e se expandiu para as praças públicas, chegando-se a afirmação deste esporte no cenário porto-alegrense nas décadas seguintes com a organização de sua entidade própria no princípio da década de 1950. Como resultado do estudo identificou-se que a criação da Federação Gaúcha de Basquete em 1952 representou um marco para a melhor organização do esporte na cidade promovendo competições e atuando na difusão do basquetebol nos clubes. Além disso, as praças públicas se mostraram importantes espaços para a prática do basquetebol, tornando-se um lugar alternativo para atletas que não jogavam em clubes. Por outro lado, a localização de um significativo número de clubes sociais e esportivos com times de basquetebol nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, denota a forte presença deste esporte na cidade. Provavelmente, este foi um dos elementos que favoreceu a organização federativa do basquetebol. / The current study seeks to understand how was the development of basketball practice in Porto Alegre, since the emergence in the clubs until the organization of the Gaucha Basketball Federation. Under the theoretical and methodological reference of Cultural History, this sport history version, it is held in printed sources such as newspapers, magazines, sports almanacs, books and interviews. The literature review and documentary analysis of historical sources underpinned the context of basketball practice in the city of Porto Alegre. It talks about the introduction of basketball practice at the clubs in the mid-1920s, where it slowly began to have fans, and expanded to the public squares, coming to claim the sport scene in Porto Alegre in the following decades with the organization of their own entity in the early 1950s. As a result, the study identified that the creation of Gaucha Basketball Federation in 1952 represented a milestone for the better organization of sports competitions in town promoting and acting on the spread of basketball clubs. Moreover, the public squares were important spaces for basketball practice, becoming an alternative place for athletes who did not play in clubs. On the other hand, the location of a significant number of social and sports clubs with basketball teams in the 1930s and 1940s, reflects the strong presence of this sport in the city. Probably, this was one of the factors that favored the federative organization of basketball.

The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to compare what coaches deem important with what players consider important in the player's selection of which university to attend; (2) to compare black athletes with white athletes and their reasons for the selection of university; (3) to determine if there are differences in the reasons athletes choose private institutions rather than state institutions; (4) to determine if Texas basketball players choose universities for different reasons than students from other states; and (5) to compare decisions made by high school recruits and junior college recruits with respect to their choice of a university to attend.

Title: Comparison of basketball coaches competencies with other sports. Objectives: The main objective of this diploma thesis was to compile a basketball coach's competence list and compare these competencies with demands on selected coaches of other sports. Semi- structured interviews with active basketball coaches as well as the literature were used to obtain desired competencies. Methods: This marketing research included both quantitative and qualitative methods. The collected data from questioning players and coaches was obtained via an electronic questionnaire. The 4 level-point Likert scale without central tendency was chosen for evaluating the importance of the collected data and a semi-structured interview with active basketball coaches had been used to obtain desired competencies. These competencies were categorized into clusters which, subsequently, made the interpretation of the results more transparent. Results: The results of the research identified the most important competencies for the profession of an "ideal" basketball coach. These competencies (20 of them in total) were chosen to take part in competency profile. The 3 most important competencies were following: "knowing the basketball rules", "fair-minded" and "ability to motivate". The comparison of basketball coaches...

Bisher gibt es nur wenige Forschungsarbeiten, die sich mit der videogestützten Analyse von Basketballverletzungen beschäftigen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Basketballverletzungen der ersten Basketballbundesliga und der zweiten Basketballbundesliga systematisch per Video analysiert, mit dem Ziel, Verletzungsmuster zu beschreiben und somit gegebenenfalls die Rate von Basketballverletzungen durch geeignete Präventionsansätze zu reduzieren. Hierbei wurden Daten hinsichtlich der Rahmenbedingungen, des Orts der Verletzung, der Spielsituation, der Auslöser und der Umstände der Verletzung an sich zu 215 Verletzungen mit Hilfe eines speziell für die videogestützte Analyse von Basketballverletzungen entwickelten Beobachtungsbogens erhoben. Es zeigte sich in 38% der erhobenen Fälle das Bewegungsmuster Landung zum Verletzungszeitpunkt, was somit das häufigste zu Verletzungen führende Bewegungsmuster war. Oft waren gerade die die athletische Spielweise des Basketballs charakterisierenden Spielaktionen (z. B. Korbleger bzw. Dunking und Shotblock) Auslöser von Verletzungen. Zudem ereigneten sich die Verletzungen im zweiten Viertel 2,1-fach häufiger und im vierten Viertel 1,9-fach häufiger im Vergleich zu den anderen beiden Vierteln. Ein weiteres wichtiges Resultat war, dass die Verletzungen in der Mehrzahl der Fälle (80%) nicht auf ein Foulspiel zurückzuführen waren. Insgesamt ergibt sich aus den Erkenntnissen die Empfehlung der Implementierung von neuromuskulären Präventionsprogrammen, welche die besonderen Verletzungsmechanismen des Basketballs miteinbeziehen. Bisherige Präventionsprogramme können aufgrund dieser Datenlage bezüglich der Bewegungsmuster, der Spielposition, des Verletzungszeitpunkts und des Kontaktmechanismus sowie der individuellen Voraussetzungen des jeweiligen Spielers verwendet werden. Die Umsetzung sollte von Trainern/-innen mitgetragen und überprüft werden. Foulregeländerungen müssen gemäß der vorliegenden Untersuchung – in Hinblick auf die Verletzungsprävention nicht durchgeführt werden. Bezüglich der Resultate hinsichtlich des Verletzungszeitpunkts könnte nach Detektion der genauen Ursachen für eine gehäufte Anzahl an Verletzungen in bestimmten Spielabschnitten durch weitere Studien eine Regeländerung mit Verlängerung der Viertelpausen erwogen werden. / To date, there has been little research that has focused on video-based analysis of basketball injuries. In the present work, basketball injuries of the first and second German national basketball league were systematically analyzed by video with the aim to describe injury patterns and thus, if applicable, to reduce the rate of basketball injuries by suitable prevention approaches. For this purpose, data regarding the general conditions, the location of the injury, the game situation, the triggers and the circumstances of the injury itself were collected for 215 injuries using an observation form specially developed for the video-based analysis of basketball injuries. It appeared in 38% of the collected cases the movement pattern landing at the time of injury, which was thus the most common movement pattern leading to injuries. Often, the game actions that characterize the athletic style of basketball (e.g., lay-up or dunking and shot blocking) were the triggers of injuries. In addition, injuries occurred 2.1 times more frequently in the second quarter and 1.9 times more frequently in the fourth quarter compared to the other two quarters. Another important finding was that in the majority of cases (80%), the injuries were not due to foul play. Overall, the findings lead to the recommendation of implementing neuromuscular prevention programs that incorporate the unique injury mechanisms of basketball. Previous prevention programs can be used based on these data regarding movement patterns, playing position, time of injury, contact mechanism and the individual conditions of each player. Implementation should be shared and reviewed by coaches. According to the present study, foul rule changes with regard to injury prevention do not need to be implemented. With regard to the results concerning the time of injuries, a rule change with extension of the quarter breaks could be considered after detection of the exact causes for a clustered number of injuries in certain game sections by further studies.

This study compared the effects of competitive basketball experiences, no basketball experiences, and choral experiences of girls in the Gainesville State Training School upon selected personality factors, behavior, and social status.

Die Verletzungsprävention hat im Profisport deutlich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die medizinische Eingangsuntersuchung könnte um einen sportartspezifischen Leistungstest erweitert werden, um relevante Leistungs- und Funktionsdefizite zu detektieren, die das Auftreten von Verletzungen begünstigen. In einer prospektiven Kohortenstudie über fünf aufeinanderfolgende Spielzeiten wurde hierzu der Kader einer Basketball-Profimannschaft im Rahmen der medizinischen Eingangsuntersuchung einem modifizierten NBA Combine Test unterzogen. Die in den durchgeführten Korrelationsanalysen ermittelten Ergebnisse zeigten tendenziell ein erhöhtes Verletzungsrisiko bei Athleten mit Defiziten in Agilität und Ausdauer. Außerdem konnten positionsspezifische Einflüsse auf das Verletzungsgeschehen festgestellt werden. Einzelne Verletzungen schienen sich jedoch der Einflussnahme der Athleten weitestgehend zu entziehen. Insgesamt ist die Durchführung eines basketballspezifischen Leistungstests als Erweiterung der medizinischen Eignungsuntersuchung sinnvoll um Funktionsdefizite aufzuzeigen und Verletzungsrisiken zu senken. Außerdem können die erhobenen Basiswerte in der Rehabilitation nach aufgetretener Verletzung zur Bestimmung des individuellen Zeitpunkt eines Return-to-Play/-Competition genutzt werden. / Injury prevention has gained significant importance in professional sports. The initial medical examination could be extended by a sport-specific performance test to detect relevant performance and functional deficits that increase the likelihood of injuries. In a prospective cohort study over five consecutive seasons, the roster of a professional basketball team underwent a modified NBA Combine test as part of the initial medical examination. The results obtained in the correlation analyses showed that athletes with deficits in agility and endurance tended to have an increased risk of injury. In addition, position-specific influences on the injury process could be determined. However, individual injuries seemed to largely elude the influence of the athletes. Overall, the implementation of a basketball-specific performance test as an extension of the medical aptitude test makes sense in order to identify functional deficits and reduce the risk of injury. In addition, the collected data in the rehabilitation after an injury can be used to determine the individual point of time for a return-to-play/-competition.
