Abstract
Summary Aim The purpose of this study was to compare physiological responses and frequencies of technical actions in different full-court game formats in young basketball players. Methods Twelve young male basketball players (age 15.8 ± 0.9 years; height 184.1 ± 7.7 cm; body mass 77.2 ± 10.8 kg) participated in this study voluntarily. Different full-court game formats (2-a-side, 3-a-side, 4-a-side and 5-a-side) were organized in random order at 2-day intervals. Results The study results indicate that the full-court 2-a-side and 3-a-side games produced significantly higher physiological responses than the full-court 5-a-side games in terms of HR, %HRmax, and RPE (P Conclusion The results of this study suggest that, if coaches want to achieve greater physiological responses and higher frequencies of technical actions, they should organize 2-a-side and 3-a-side full-court games.
