Comparación de los ritmos de juego en Liga Femenina y ACB.

En esta investigación se pretende comparar el ritmo de juego en baloncesto masculino y femenino analizando el número de posesiones que se realizan por partido, su duración y la influencia del uso de distintos tipos de ataque. Aplicando la metodología observacional se estudiaron las posesiones de 14 partidos de Liga ACB y 12 de Liga Femenina (LF) de la temporada 2009/10. Los análisis realizados ponen en evidencia que el ritmo de juego es un factor que distingue el baloncesto masculino y femenino,puesto que se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las dos categorías en todas las variables analizadas. Los resultados muestran que el ritmo de juego en LF es mayor que en ACB por tener un número medio de posesiones por partido superior (ACB 172 - LF 180,58) y porque la duración media de las mismas es menor (ACB 12,73 seg. - LF 11,82 seg.). Además en LF se juega a un ritmo más elevado que en Liga ACB debido al mayor uso de contraataques (ACB 10% - LF 12,8% del total de posesiones)y transiciones (ACB 3,9% - LF 5,2%) y la menor duración de los ataques posicionales (ACB 14,11 seg. - LF 13,2 seg.)

Analysis of men's and women's basketball fast-breaks

In the present study, the way basketball fast breaks are executed was analysed, while determining how the best results are obtained and studying the differences between the men's and women's game. Utilizing observational methodology, a total of 294 fast breaks were analysed from 30 games played at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Eighteen of the games were high-level men's games and 12 were high-level women's games. Statistically significant differences were observed between the men's and the women's game in the following aspects with regard to fast breaks: (1) duration, (2) completion area, and (3) shot opposition. For men, some dependence relationships were found between the fast break result and the following variables: duration, completion area, and opposition to its completion. For women, the results revealed a weak association between the fast break result and the opposition to its completion
