Objectives To evaluate external and internal training load (TL) and hormonal responses in basketball 3-versus-3 small-sided games (SSGs). Design Randomized repeated-measures study. Methods Twelve male basketball players participated to four 3-versus-3 SSGs characterized by different tactical tasks (offensive; defensive) and training regimes (long-intermittent: three 4-min bouts with 2′ rest in between; short-intermittent: six 2-min bouts with 1′ rest in between). Variables measured were: PlayerLoad (PL); percentage of maximal heart rate (%HRmax); Edwards’ TL. Before and after the SSGs, saliva samples were collected to measure cortisol (C) and testosterone (T). Two-way (task; regime) repeated-measures ANOVA was performed for PL and %HRmax; C concentrations were analysed with a three-way (task; regime; time: pre/post) repeated-measures ANOVA; non-parametric analyses were performed for Edwards’ TL and T. Results PL was moderately higher in offensive task (148.0 ± 16.8 AU) compared to defensive (137.1 ± 15.5 AU), and short regime (147.0 ± 18.2 AU) compared to long (137.9 ± 14.6 AU). %HRmax was moderately higher in offensive task (91.1 ± 4.1%) compared to defensive: (88.7 ± 5.4%), while it did not differ between regimes (long: 90.0 ± 5.6%) (short: 89.8 ± 4.2%); additionally, an interaction (task*regime) effect was found (ES: strong). Edwards’ TL was moderately higher in offense-long SSG (56.6 + 2.4 AU) compared to defense-short (52.4 + 4.4 AU). C increased after the SSGs (ES: strong). T decreased after offense-short (ES: moderate) and increased after defense-long (ES: moderate) SSGs. Conclusions Tactical tasks and training regimes influence external and internal demands of basketball SSGs. Steroid hormones respond in SSGs.

Abstract

Objectives To evaluate external and internal training load (TL) and hormonal responses in basketball 3-versus-3 small-sided games (SSGs). Design Randomized repeated-measures study. Methods Twelve male basketball players participated to four 3-versus-3 SSGs characterized by different tactical tasks (offensive; defensive) and training regimes (long-intermittent: three 4-min bouts with 2′ rest in between; short-intermittent: six 2-min bouts with 1′ rest in between). Variables measured were: PlayerLoad (PL); percentage of maximal heart rate (%HRmax); Edwards’ TL. Before and after the SSGs, saliva samples were collected to measure cortisol (C) and testosterone (T). Two-way (task; regime) repeated-measures ANOVA was performed for PL and %HRmax; C concentrations were analysed with a three-way (task; regime; time: pre/post) repeated-measures ANOVA; non-parametric analyses were performed for Edwards’ TL and T. Results PL was moderately higher in offensive task (148.0 ± 16.8 AU) compared to defensive (137.1 ± 15.5 AU), and short regime (147.0 ± 18.2 AU) compared to long (137.9 ± 14.6 AU). %HRmax was moderately higher in offensive task (91.1 ± 4.1%) compared to defensive: (88.7 ± 5.4%), while it did not differ between regimes (long: 90.0 ± 5.6%) (short: 89.8 ± 4.2%); additionally, an interaction (task*regime) effect was found (ES: strong). Edwards’ TL was moderately higher in offense-long SSG (56.6 + 2.4 AU) compared to defense-short (52.4 + 4.4 AU). C increased after the SSGs (ES: strong). T decreased after offense-short (ES: moderate) and increased after defense-long (ES: moderate) SSGs. Conclusions Tactical tasks and training regimes influence external and internal demands of basketball SSGs. Steroid hormones respond in SSGs.
