THE COMPARISON OF SOME MOTORIC AND TECHNIC CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN 12 DEV ADAM AND TOFAS BASKETBALL SCHOOLS (VAN SAMPLE)

In this research, it was aimed to compare some motoric and technical characteristics between athletes of 12 Dev Adam Basketball School (12 DABO) and TOFAŞ Basketball School (TOFAŞ BO) athletes in Van province in 2004. The study included basketball education in these schools; with a total of 30 athletes aged between10-12. In the study, body weight, height measurement, vertical jump, sit lengthening, 30 m speed, shooting, turnstile and ball riding tests were applied. During the 7-month training period, tests were carried out in the third week of study and two weeks before the end of the study. There was a significant difference between the groups in the pre-test vertical jump parameters (p <0.05). There was a significant difference between the pre and post test groups in all parameters except TOFAS BO athletes' vertical jump and throwing parameters (p <0.05). Significant changes observed in the final test near all of the measured technical and motoric characteristics of the athletes of both schools indicate that schools are successful in their work and that statistical differences between schools may be due to the similarity of schools' training programs. On the other hand, in the vertical jump pre-test, the values favoring TOFAŞ BO were not statistically significant but they were closed by 12 DABO in the last test and reached close values. This can be attributed to the strength and speed exercises made by body weights in the standard movements section of 12 DABO athletes practice during training.
