The most important physical and physiological determinants as an indicator for selecting junior basketball players in the clubs of Al-Qadisiyah Governorate

Abstract

The recent progress in various fields, especially the sports aspect of different games, was not by chance, but rather the result of the development of science and knowledge in the sports aspect. It is the development of sports sciences, which contributed to achieving global achievements (training science, physiology, biomechanics, etc.). This is what we see through the achievement. One of these sciences is the science of testing and measurement, the importance of which has become clear through its being the scientific aspect that measures and determines the level of juniors in terms of what they have learned and mastered of science. One of the most important topics addressed by the science of training is selection using measurement methods that coaches, experts and specialists in the sports field have resorted to. The purpose of this is to accelerate access to advanced positions and achieve achievement by selecting a good and talented sample for the basketball event. Selection has several stages, and it is a continuous, uninterrupted process that is not limited to a specific age group, as the physical and physique measurements differ, and the player’s abilities develop and talent is enhanced to reach its peak. There are individual differences between individuals and all age groups according to the requirements of each game, and these differences It is approved by (testing science, motor learning science, sports training science) through the desire to practice, motivation, increased competition and success of the training process. All of this is done through the similarity of levels between players, knowing the extent of improvement of each player and identifying the weaknesses in several determinants or in a specific determinant, whether skill or physical, etc. Therefore, there must be determinants through which players (basketball) are selected in order to determine their levels through their physical and physical determinants, as well as knowing the best model for this age group. Therefore, the importance of the research was evident in setting physical and physical determinants as an indicator for selecting players for the junior category in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, as these determinants have great benefit for coaches and specialists through which they can select junior players who have a major role in monitoring clubs and national teams. The research problem was revealed by the fact that selection is done by coaches in a random and subjective manner, as the focus is on performance and physical characteristics without focusing on the influential and effective specifications of the game of basketball, in addition to the lack of interest in standard methods that have a direct impact on the final results of the tournaments in which the scientifically selected juniors will participate. The aim of the research is to set standard grades and levels for the physical and physique indicators that junior basketball players possess.
