PIC AGUILAR, M.. Different motor patterns in basketball depending on gender?. CPD [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp.149-156. ISSN 1989-5879.

The primary objective of this research is to characterize gender by analysing motor behaviour in basketball. Two high competition matches from the world championship organized by FIBA in 2014 were selected . Through an observational methodology, and a nomothetic, punctual and multidimensional design (Anguera, Blanco-Villaseñor, Hernández-Mendo, & Losada, 2011) motor behaviour related to the movement of the ball and the effectiveness of pitchers based on the presence or absence of opposition when throwing the ball were recorded. To do this, a mixed system of registration 'ad hoc' was designed, based on 4 facets and 11 categories. After a training period, two observers registered at two different times with Lince software to record the driving behavior described in the referential system. After achieving data quality, close to the inter- and intra-observer unit, two analytical techniques were applied: a) detection of behavioral patterns by Theme (Magnusson, 2000) and b) Chaid decision trees through SPSS. The results showed the existence of patterns of play and temporal regularities depending on gender, while by using Chaid multivariate analysis the gender variable was included in the second level of hierarchy of the effectiveness explanatory variable. From this study, guidelines can be drawn that help basketball coaches and trainers to build training tasks. Differences in behavioral patterns between men and women in basketball were identified. Tasks design has in gender a reason for specificity.
