THE EFFECT OF FATIGUE ON SHOOTING PERFORMANCE IN YOUNG BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatigue on the hit rate in 16-17 year old male basketball players. The study
group consisted of 10 volunteer basketball players with an average age of 16.40 and an average length of 181.30. Yo-Yo
Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (Yo-Yo ATT1) was used to cause acute fatigue in basketball players. In order to evaluate
the hit rate, basketball players were given 5 shots 2 times, 5 shots 3 times and 5 turnstile shots after resting, moderate load and
after exhaustion point. The scores obtained were evaluated. The difference between the smash test scores and frequency
analyzes performed at three different fatigue levels were performed in the computer statistical package program. Basketball
players Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test In the first level test, a minimum of 16 shuttles and a maximum of 21 shuttles run.
The distance they run was found to be a minimum of 640 meters and a maximum of 840 meters. Significant differences were
found between smash test scores applied at three different fatigue levels (p<0.05). When the fatigue levels were gradually
increased, the biggest difference was found between the shot success rates after the exhaustion point and the hit rate taken at
rest. As a result, when the results of the study were taken into consideration, it was found that acute fatigue created had a
significant effect on the hit rate of basketball players. As the fatigue level of basketball players increased, it was seen that the
hit rate decreased. These results showed that it is necessary to determine the critical points of the individual fatigue levels of
the athletes and to establish a training program in this direction.
