Differences in standard performance indicators between male and female basketball senior teams participating in the 2003 european championships

The scientific researches of the basketball game dealt mainly with the man’ s basketball. The aim of this paper is to determine the basic differences between male and female performance by comparing the official statistics parameters of male and female teams that participated at 2003 European Championships. Discriminant analysis showed that the greatest difference between male and female performance is in three point shots which for the most of the players are the basis of their game. Larger number of unsuccessful two point shots, turnovers and defensive and offensive rebounds made by the female players are explained by their inferior motor abilities, impatience, more rapid drop in concentration, as well as the more frequent use of the less aggressive defense.
