Effect of periodization on the physical capacities of basketball players of a military school

Abstract Basketball is a sport modality that imposes important physiological loads on players during competition. The aim of the study was to verify the effect of training with wave periodization on the physical capacities of athletes. Explosive strength of lower limbs; aerobic resistance; maximum strength of upper limb; and resting heart rate (HRrest) at PRE and POST moments of 16 athletes submitted to a 4-month training period were evaluated. The internal training load was monitored by the method proposed by Carl Foster in each training session. Statistically significant differences were observed in VO2max of 50.5± 4.9 vs. 54.0± 6.1 ml/kg/min (p <0.000), in the vertical impulse of 39.1± 5.9 cm vs. 44.7± 5.9 cm (p <0.000), 10 RM on bench press 40.4± 9.4 vs. 48.0± 8.9 kg (p <0.000) and in HRrest 66± 4 vs. 60± 5 bpm (p <0.000). The average internal training load was 751± 249 AU. It was concluded that school basketball athletes submitted to training macrocycle with 4-month wave periodization improve the strength of lower and upper limbs, also presenting positive adaptations in aerobic conditioning.
