Abstract
Abstract The present study examined changes in tactical performance and self-efficacy amongyoung female basketball players across a 4-months competitive season. Repeated measures preand post a 4-month season in 30 young female basketball players (11.4 to 14.7 years-old) was considered. We applied the Self-Efficacy General Scale and examined tactical performance in a standardized 3 vs 3 exercise in half court. The 3 vs 3 exercise was analysed using Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) and Team Sport Assessment Procedure (TSAP).We examined changes in tactical performance and self-efficacy using multilevel modelling.Theresults showed that changes of Self-Efficacy scores were not influenced by 4 months of training across competition period, chronological age and years of sport participation, the changes of TSAP performance was influenced only by years of sport participation, and the changes of GPAI performance was influenced only by the period of training and competition games.
Highlights
Team sport performance is a complex product of cognitive knowledge about the current situation and past events combined with a player’s ability to produce the sport skill(s) required[1]
In the present study we examined the changes in tactical performance, measured both with Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) and Team Sport Assessment Procedure (TSAP), and self-efficacy across a 4-month competitive season among female adolescent basketball players using Bayesian multilevel modelling
We considered the relative contribution of age, training experience and self-efficacy to adolescent female basketball playersvariation in tactical scores and respective change across the competitive season
Summary
Team sport performance is a complex product of cognitive knowledge about the current situation and past events combined with a player’s ability to produce the sport skill(s) required[1]. Knowledge development is relevant on tactical learning and decision making processes and must be implicit on teaching-learning systems[2]. The complexity of game actions and decisions in basketball may be linked to several psychological constructs. An important psychological construct in sports is self-efficacy[4,5]. Perceived self-efficacy has been defined as the persons’ beliefs in their own capabilities to achieve something[6]. It has been noted a link between sport participation and the development of self-efficacy[7,8]. In the context of youth sports, basketball, information about perceived self-efficacy may be useful to interpret playersperformance and behaviour within the game
