Effect of the 3-Point Line Change on the Game Dynamics in Girls' Minibasketball
Arias, Jose L.; Argudo, Francisco M.; Alonso, Jose I.
Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v80 n3 p502-509 Sep 2009
We examined the game dynamics in minibasketball when comparing two different forms of the 3-point line. During the first competition, participants used a 3-point line delimited by the free-throw lane, and 1,642 ball possessions were recorded. During the second competition, participants played with a 3-point line delimited by a rectangular area, and 1,669 ball possessions were recorded. Results from the Mann-Whitney U Test show that when playing with a 3-point line delimited by the free-throw lane, higher average values were achieved in terms of points scored, number of players taking part in the ball possessions, number of passes, and one-on-one situations. (Contains 2 figures and 4 tables.)
