Development and use of the training programme of passing the ball with the ‘weak’ hand for basketball players of the stage of preliminary basic training

Abstract

At the initial stages of long-term training, the sports result is determined by the perfection of basic technical movements and actions. Any technical movement  is built on the basis of old coordination relationships from movement elements familiar to the athlete. In this regard, basketball players at the stage of preliminary basic training need to purposefully develop technical skills, due to the fact that competitive wrestling requires a quick and timely assessment of the game situation, instant reaction and the ability to implement the decisions made. By implementing technical actions in the game, basketball players can achieve a significant advantage over the opponent. Materials and methods. The research included several stages. Basketball players of the Lviv Regional Children's and Youth Sports School of the first stage of basic training aged 10-12 (60 athletes) participated in the experiment, who were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group (30 basketball players each). The following methods were used to solve the tasks: theoretical analysis of scientific and educational literature; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. The results. Indicators in the experimental group (EG) as a result of a 3-month training program for passing the ball with one hand ("weak") in basketball players aged 10-12 years improved significantly. Rate of increase In basketball players of 10 years, the effectiveness of passing the ball increased by 24.4%. The result before the experiment was 8.6 times, after - 10.7. The growth rate was 2.1, with p<0.05. 11-year-old basketball players improved the effectiveness of passes by 20%, before the experiment their rate was 11.5, after - 13.8. Increase by 2.3 times, at p<0.05. 12-year-old athletes improved their performance by 15.8%, before the experiment the indicator was 15.1 in number of passes, after the experiment - 17.5. The increase was 2.4 at p<0.05. The study showed that basketball players in the control group (CG), which did not participate in the experimental programme and performed passes with both right and left hands, also improved their performance in passing the ball with one hand (‘weak’), but not significantly. Basketball players aged 10 improved their score by 3.4%. Before the experiment, the ball passing rate was 8.8 times per 30 seconds of work, after the experiment - 9.1. The increase was 0.3, at p>0.05. In sportsmen of 11 years old the result increased by 4%, the increase was 0.5 times. The indicator before the experiment was 11.7 in terms of the number of passes, after the experiment - 12.2, at p>0.05. Basketball players aged 12 improved their performance by 4.6%. Before the experiment, the number of passes was 15.2, after the experiment - 15.9 times. The increase is 0.7, at p>0.05.
