Sports injuries are common and impair the lives of athletes, coaching staff, and teammates. Objective: To describe the prevalence and characteristics of musculoskeletal injuries reported by men and women amateur basketball players. Methodology: This cross-sectional analytical study included 121 amateur basketball players. They identified and characterized injuries using the Referred Morbidity Survey. Results: The study included 66 males (n = 54.5%) and 55 females (n = 45.5%); their mean age was 23.0 years. All participants had at least one injury, and 49 (40.5%) presented two or more. The most common injuries were sprains (n = 59; 27.2%), dislocations (n = 34; 15.8%), contusions (n = 25; 11.5%), and ligament injuries (n = 19; 8.8%). The anatomical sites most affected were the ankle (n = 57; 26.3%), the knee (n = 40; 18.4%), the hand (n = 26; 12.0%), and the leg (n = 15; 6.9%). Regarding the mechanisms of injury, the most cited were jumping (n = 43; 19.8%), falling (n = 43; 19.8%), colliding with an opponent (n = 41; 18.9%), and direct trauma (n = 24; 11.1%). Regarding the moment of injury, 84 cases (38.7%) occurred during competitions, followed by 82 (37.8%) during training sessions. Conclusion: Amateur basketball players presented a high prevalence of injuries; the most common were sprains, dislocations, and contusions, mainly affecting the ankle and knee.

This research investigated the capacity that game characteristics and protagonists have to predict emotional intensity, as well as motivational orientation (towards performance or outcome). A total of 183 elementary and high school students from four Spanish regions joined the study (boys = 43.7% and girls = 56.2%), aged 12 to 17 years old. Two 60-minute intervention sessions were carried out (15-20' per game); emotional intensity was assessed at the end of the session using the GES, whereas motivational profiles were assessed through the BREQ3. For data analysis, the decision tree technique known as CHAID was employed. The findings allow highlighting that: a) competition result and game type can predict the participants' emotional intensity; b) result during the match, along with gender, can predict performance-oriented motivational profiles; and c) gender and result, in addition to sports background, help predict motivational profiles not oriented to performance.

The ultimate aim of this paper is to contribute to the process of adapting this sport (basketball) to children. At the age of 12 to 13, children who have previously played under mini-basketball rules suddenly find themselves thrown into the youth category, participating in full-blown basketball matches under the same conditions -the same size court, hoop and ball- as top Spanish professional players in the ACB league. Using technical criteria for free throws (a highly representative shot) as a starting point, this article aims to analyse how suitable the current regulations are, in terms of adaptational and transitional issues, by conducting a descriptive inferential analysis and by identifying temporal patterns. The article concludes that mini-basketball is a suitably well adapted form of basketball, while the move to the youth version of the game breaks away from the technical patterns internalized by players who are still juniors, leading them to adopt new, technically incorrect methods of executing free throw shots.

A growing interest in the characteristics related to the excellent performance has provided a marked increase in research in the area of excellence in sport. In this sense, the purpose of this study was to characterize the life story of a high level international basketball player. The investigation used a qualitative methodology. The main resource was an in-depth interview to the athlete, supplemented by interviews with relevant people in different stages of their process as well as a comprehensive search of available data in the media on matters relevant to our study. Data was analyzed using inductive and deductive processes of qualitative analysis. The main conclusions point out the decisive importance of the social environment during her childhood, parental education and safety of the neighborhood. Psychological factors were identified: intrinsic motivation, willingness to sacrifice, adaptive perfectionism, calm and self-reliance. These are the basis of a strong competitive attitude, with great control over stress and anxiety. Humility, sports intelligence, professionalism, leadership skills and respect for the game are other features that stand out. Deliberate play and the specific way in which occurred constitute a decisive training factor that carved the athlete way of play. The distinct stages and characteristics of the deliberate practice were also decisive for the development of the skills aroused in her childhood. Constant individual success is considered crucial in the development of increased perceptions of competence and motivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
