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...
Determinants of drop-out in youth basketball: an interdisciplinary approach
Soares, André L. A.; Kós, Luísa D.; Paes, Roberto R.; Nascimento, Juarez V.; Collins, Dave; Gonçalves, C. E.; Carvalho, Humberto M.Using an interdisciplinary approach, we examined the baseline variation in biological maturity status, training experience, body size, functional capacities (Line Drill test and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery level 1 test) and motivation for achievement, competitiveness and deliberate practice of youth basketball players according to their participation status in the sport two years after assessment. Fifty-seven p...
Performance, motivation, and enjoyment in young female basketball players: An i...
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...
Validity and usefulness of the Line Drill test for adolescent basketball player...
Carvalho, Humberto M.; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Grosgeorge, Bernard; Paes, Roberto R.The study examined the validity of the Line Drill test (LD) in male adolescent basketball players (10–15 years). Sensitiveness of the LD to changes in performance across a training and competition season (4 months) was also considered. Age, maturation, body size and LD were measured (n = 57). Sensitiveness of the LD was examined pre- and post-competitive season in a sub-sample (n = 44). The time at each of the ...
Growth, functional capacities and motivation for achievement and competitivenes...
Carvalho, Humberto Moreira; Gonçalves, Carlos E.; Collins, Dave; Paes, Roberto R.The interaction of multiple influences on the path to sport success is not yet fully understood by sport scientists. In this study, we examined variation in body size, functional capacities and motivation for achievement, competitiveness and deliberate practice of youth basketball players associated with differences in biological maturity status, chronological age and years of training experience. Reflecting th...
Effects of Youth Participation in Extra-Curricular Sport Programs on Perceived ...
Reverdito, Riller S.; Carvalho, Humberto M.; Galatti, Larissa R.; Scaglia, Alcides J.; Gonçalves, C. E.; Paes, Roberto R.The present study examined extracurricular sport participation variables and developmental context in relationship to perceived self-efficacy among underserved adolescents. Participants (n ¼ 821, 13.6 1.5 years) completed the Youth Experience in Sport questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale. We used the Human Development Index (HDI) to characterize developmental contexts. Multilevel regression models were...
Developmental Benefits of Extracurricular Sports Participation Among Brazilian ...
Reverdito, Riller S.; Galatti, Larissa R.; Carvalho, Humberto M.; Scaglia, Alcides J.; Côté, Jean; Gonçalves, C. E.; Paes, Roberto R.Youth sporting activities have been explored as a way to impact positive personal transformation and development, glaringly demonstrated by world-wide investments in public policies, programs, and projects. We studied positive effects of participation in sports on the developmental assets of 614 adolescents (13.1 1.7 years) actively engaged in extracurricular sport programs targeted at socially disadvantaged yo...
