Does early specialization provide an advantage in physical fitness development ...
Soares, André A. L.; Lima, Ahlan B.; Miguel, Caio G.; Galvão, Luciano G.; Leonardi, Thiago J.; Paes, Roberto R.; Gonçalves, Carlos E.The present study examined the influence of the specialization onset on the magnitude and patterns of changes in basketball-specific physical fitness within a competitive season and developmental fitness trends between 11 and 17 years in young basketball players. Repeated measures of 181 young basketball players (female, n = 40; male, n = 141) were examined. Anthropometry, age, estimated maturity status, and ba...
Deliberate Practice, Functional Performance and Psychological Characteristics i...
Lima, Ahlan B.; Nascimento, Juarez V.; Leonardi, Thiago J.; Soares, André L.; Paes, Roberto R.; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Carvalho, Humberto M.Background: Early sport specialization has increased its popularity mostly based on the deliberate practice theory premises. In this study, we examined the influence of the age of onset of deliberate basketball practice on body size, functional performance (countermovement jump, line drill and yo-yo intermittent recovery level 1), motivation for achievement and competitiveness, motivation for deliberate practic...

Soares, André L. A.; Leonardi, Thiago J.; Silva, Jaqueline; Nascimento, Juarez V.; Paes, Roberto R.; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Carvalho, Humberto M.The purpose of this study was to examine the variation in accumulated basketball training experience, body size, functional performance, deliberate practice motivation, achievement and competitiveness motivation and sources of enjoyment among young female basketball players, partitioning the potential variation by individuals´ biological characteristics (menarche status) and contextual characteristics (competit...
Longitudinal Changes of Functional Capacities Among Adolescent Female Basketbal...
Carvalho, Humberto M.; Leonardi, Thiago J.; Soares, André L. A.; Paes, Roberto R.; Foster, Carl; Gonçalves, Carlos E.Background: The interpretation of young athletes’ performance during pubertal years is important to support coaches’ decisions, as performance may be erroneously interpreted due to the misalignment between chronological age (CA), biological age (BA) and sport age (SA). Aim: Using a Bayesian multilevel approach, the variation in longitudinal changes in performance was examined considering the influence of CA, BA...
Biological maturation, training experience, body size and functional capacity o...
Leonardi, Thiago J.; Paes, Roberto R.; Breder, Larissa; Foster, Carl; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Carvalho, Humberto M.In the present study we examined the age- and maturity-associated variation on body size and functional capacities in 47 adolescent female basketball players. Also, we examined the relative contribution of growth and maturity status to functional capacity between player variation. Data included chronological age, age at menarche, years of training experience; body dimensions; countermovement jump, Line drill te...
Influence of coaches on sources of enjoyment in youth basketball
Carvalho, Humberto M.; Leonardi, Thiago J.; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Paes, Roberto R.We examined the influence of coaches on sources of enjoyment of youth basketball players accounting for differences in chronological age, biological maturity status and years of training experience. Fifty-eight male basketball players aged 9.5 to 15.5 years were considered from a youth club. Three coaches supervising yearly age group teams from under 11 to under 15 teams were considered. Variables included chro...
