HIGH PERFORMANCE BASKETBALL: BACK TO THE FUTURE

Absztrakt

The moderator, Prof. Dr. Sc Igor Jukić asked the participants of the roundtable discussion about their vision for the future of team sports and basketball. 

Janez Drvaric pointed out that the game of basketball is getting faster, thanks to the rule changes, but from an athletic point of view, the players are getting stronger and faster. He believes it is important that basketball is an intelligent game, so speed is not always the biggest advantage, but basketball IQ is very important. 

Assoc. Prof. Ph.D. Nenad Trunić said we know that basketball is a sprint sport, one of the consequences of this is that 91% of injuries occur during deceleration. It would be important to put a lot of emphasis on injury prevention in the future, which can be seen as a kind of preparation. We use science and education to understand problems and try to find solutions to them, but we must never forget the hard work.
