INFLUENCE OF THE COACH’S PROFILE IN FORMATIVE BASKETBALL TRAINING
Abstract
One of the main needs of coaches is to know if their training processes meet the planned requirements. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to evaluate how Pedagogical and External Load Variables affect training, and to describe the differences according to the training methodology used by two teams. This work is classified as an empirical study with descriptive, observational, categorical and quantitative methodology. A total of 664 tasks performed by two basketball teams were analyzed. The results showed that there are significant differences in most of the variables analyzed according to the coach. Therefore, it was concluded that the methodology influences the design of the tasks, causing differences in the Pedagogical and External Load Variables. These differences cause the player trained under an alternative methodology to support a greater training load, resulting in a better adaptation to the competition and obtaining better results.
