Abstract:

The aim of the study is to determine the morphological structures, motor performance and attention levels of basketball players when they are adultered with their technical skills. The study included 31 male basketball players (age = 13.1 ± 0.89) voluntarily. The basketball players’ length, body weight, environmental measurements (biceps in calf and fraction), diameter measurements (humerus and femur) and skin curved thickness (triceps, subscapular, suprailiac and medial calf) were measured. The value of the body mass index (BKI) is calculated. The somatotype values are determined by the Heath-Carter somatotype method. Basketball players have been applied motor performance tests (stoping long jumping, back strength, vertical jumping, anaerobic power, swinging, kicking, shooting with health ball), basketball skills tests (driving and shooting) and attention tests. The relationship between basketball skills and morphological structures, motor performance and attention levels is determined by using the Spearman Order Correlation Screenshot. With the shuttle values of basketball players, the long jump, shuttle and health ball and shuttle values have been determined in positive middle-level relationships (rho = 0.46, p<0.01; 0.40, p<0.05; 0.47, p<0.01 respectively). The relationship of the basketball players' ability to drive the ball with the endomorphic and mesomorphic values is determined at the positive middle level (rho = 0.49, p<0.01; rho = 0.45, p<0.05 respectively). A negative-oriented middle-level (rho = 0.44; p<0.05) relationship is determined with the ectomorphic value of the ability to drive the ball. There is no connection between the ability to drive the ball and the attention and concentration values (p>0.05). As a result, technical skills have been established along with the increase in motor performance values representing the strength of the lower end, the upper end and the core area. As the endomorphic and mesomorphic values of basketball players are determined, the ability to drive the ball is reduced, while the ectormorphic values are increased, the ability to drive the ball is increased.
