Differences in motor abilities between "young-senior" and "cadet" female basketball players

Training-status diagnostics are one of the fundamental activities used in order to improve basketball efficiency. At the beginning of preparation period for the 2004 European Championships cadet (N=13) and young-senior (N=12) female basketball teams were tested with eight tests to determine their motor abilities. The results of this research show us that the cadet basketball players were better in 4 of the 8 tests of motor abilities (explosive leg power, flexibility, acceleration and cyclic speed, and agility). Young seniors showed better results in tests of explosive arm power, repetitional trunk strength, repetitional arm strength, and short-term anaerobic power. A cadet training program must focus towards improvement of the relative upper body strength and core stability in order to ensure proper efficiency in order to successfully enter the young-senior age category.
