Basket

Title

An evaluation protocol has been adopted at “Li Ning Basketball Camp 2009” with a selection of the best 38 basketball Chinese young players (U18)

Preface

The evaluation protocol was based on the following tests: 1) CMJ (Counter Movement Jump) free arms 2) Stiffness test (7 jumps free arms) 3) Monopodalic 5 jumps Left and Right 4) Sprint test on 5m (analysis of the management of the first two steps and speed)
One webcam has been placed in rear position. All the players have been evaluated and the database has been exported to an Excel spreadsheet in order to be evaluated by mean of Pivot Tables. The results have been divided by athletes’ role and grouped by data type. This approach give the possibility to detect in a very efficient way the “critical” situations.

Considerations

From the Height Chart we can easily notice that player #13 has a considerable difference in the monopodalic jump between right and left. By analyzing the videos we can see a complete different attitude of the left leg that every time is pushing has a strong rotation. At the same time the body weight is charged on the opposite leg
