Abstract
Knowledge of the intensity of load in basketball appears to be an essential factor in composing an effective training process. The aim of this work is to ascertain whether there are any significant differences in load intensity between player positions and between 1st and 2nd half of the game in female basketball. 10 semi-professional female basketball players were included in this research. Total time of each player, in 3 intensity of load zones, was determined based on their HRmax. Differences between the individual player positions or in % of HRmax (guards vs. forwards vs. centers; 88.2±3.5 vs. 87.8±3.1 vs. 88.9±3.4) were neither statistically nor practically significant. Moreover, the differences between the 1st and 2nd half in the zones and % of HRmax (1st vs. 2nd half; 88.6±3.4 vs. 88.3±3.3) were not statistically significant and the practical significance had small effect. These results can create a solid base for conditioning and also game-based training programs.
