The purpose of this study is comparing physical and motoric
characteristics in youth basketball players according to age
categories. The study included 80 male basketball players
belonging to three different categories (njunior: 13, nyouth: 36,
nlittle: 31) as volunteers. Before the research, parents' consent
documents were obtained from the parents of the players. In
the study, body height, body weight, 20m sprint, Illinois
agility test and horizontal and vertical jump tests were
applied. One-way analysis of variance was used to determine
the differences between categories. Measurement values that
provide variance homogeneity were evaluated by Tukey
statistics (p<0.05). A significant difference was found
between the little team and other teams in all parameters
(p<0.05). In this study, sprint, agility and jumping
performance, and physical characteristics were significantly
different between groups in the junior, youth and little
categories. These data provide basketball coaches with
information about the physical and motoric characteristics of
the specified categories.
