 POSITIONS OF A BASKETBALL TEAM

Within the game of basketball, the following positions have to place

players:

1. "Base": Also called "playmaker "(Creator game, literally). Normally the lowest team
player. In attack up the ball to the opposite field and directs the attacking game of
his team, sending the game system. Its recommended features are a good ball
handling, vision, ability to give good passes, good speed and a successful shot
outside. In the bases they are appreciated assists as the points scored, but a good
player should get both. In defense must rise difficult ball the opposite base, cover
the passing lanes and be attentive to pick up long rebounds. Usually these players
are not of a high stature, because what really matters is the organizational and
managerial capacity game. Known as 1 in the terminology used by coaches.

2. “Escort “usually lower, fast and agile player than the rest, except sometimes the
base. It should provide points for the team, with a good shot including three-point
shot, a good command of the ball and a great capacity to enter basket. Known as 2
in the terminology used by coaches.

3. “Alero " is generally an intermediate height between the inner and outer players. His
game is balanced between strength and shooting. It is an important place for their
ability to combine height with speed. In attack must be good three-point shooter and
know culminate an entry to under counter board, are basic pieces in launching the
counterattack and usually finish off most of them. Known as 3 in the terminology
used by coaches.

4. "Power forward": It is more physical than the eaves, in many cases with a very
similar role to play power forward. It keeps most points in the low post, although
 some can become very effective shooters. They support the pivot to prevent the
opposing team's inside game, and close the rebound. Known as 4 in the terminology
used by coaches.

5. "Pivot": They are usually taller players of the team and the strongest muscularly.
Normally, the power forward should use his height and power playing near the
hoop. A power forward who conjuncts force agility is a key player for his team. Are
the player’s most surprising novice fans, by its high altitude? In Europe, the average
power forward has evolved and is able to pull open outward. In defense looking to
pick up the short rebound, stop the inside game of the opposing team and sealing
entries outside players. Known as Section 5 in the terminology used by coaches.

PHYSICAL CONDITION´

In basketball or basketball a good physical preparation is the first step for a team to be
efficient in their plays. The trainer should have solid knowledge of the principles of
physical culture, together with certain ethic to the sport and life in general.
Good fitness is a priority for both the player and the team achieve their maximum
tactical, technical and mental performance.

As a first step must be performed on compulsory medical examination to players.

The physical preparation provides the player and the team's energy and vitality
necessary to perform the technical and tactical functions required for basketball. Fitness
is primarily directed to the development of two systems: musculoskeletal and
cardiovascular system (balance between the central nervous system, the somatic and
vegetative) system.
Because basketball is characterized by a set of acyclic type, with efforts and
discontinuous actions, physical preparation in the sense that the athlete work under that
condition, training mainly of repetitions that provide resistance to the required speed is
directed.

Speed resistance is achieved based on anaerobic exercise maximum resistance efforts as

long as possible. The player he is conditioned to achieve the recovery of energy
between the period of work and rest.
The element of force is working primarily with isometrics (based on tension but no
movement) or isotonic (same voltage but with motion). The use in medicine ball
training is valuable for the development of force.

Dexterity and coordination work with basic gymnastics routines and gymnastics with
apparatus.
By physical training is achieved:
1. The multilateral and harmonious development of the player.
2. Strengthening health.
3. Stabilization body systems.
4. Increased level of basic physical qualities.
5. Increase the functional possibilities.

The specific fitness holds the physical condition acquired during general fitness, also
helping in the development of skills and physical deficiencies. also called physical-
technical preparation, it is based on the repetition of the actions of the game. It is mostly
used with the ball.
The special physical preparation motor habits and specific qualities required by each
player develop. Certain exercises develop motor qualities in the specific sense that the
coach wants for that or those specific players.

Basketball is a sport similar to volleyball characteristics, such as the synchronization of

movements, mastery of the ball, jump, use of buds, the body's balance etc., so many
coaches use this practice sport within their setup routines.
Another part of the training refers specifically to the races, meaning torn off, sprints and
fast, with changes in direction. The practice of the race increases the speed of the
players. exercises for achieving a good body balance, ball control, jumping techniques,
combined passes with various physical exercises, and various peripheral vision to
exercise practiced.

Playing basketball favors the development of legs and respiratory and cardiac capacity,
limiting somewhat the development of the upper body (shoulders and arm muscles).
That is why the coach selects a series of exercises such as:
1. Jumping opening leg.
2. Push trunk.
3. Exercises front and side arms.
4. Resistance exercises.
5. Exercises that contribute to the development of the upper body, in addition to those
exercises that are directly related as:
1. Careers changing rhythms.
2. Short with jumps racing.
3. Pivots left and right.
4. Basic positions of defense.
5. Balance exercises.

As we have already noted, through the special physical preparation habits engines and
motor qualities specific sense and according to the same demands of the sport develop.
Along the process of development of motor activity is the education of the qualities and
habits. Basketball player should work mainly:
1. Force.
2. Speed.
3. Resistance.
4. Ability.
5. Agility.
