Abstract

Background:

The increasing complexity of basketball and the need for optimal decision-making in order to maximize competitive performance highlight the necessity of specialized training for basketball coaches. This systematic review aims to compile, synthesize, and integrate international research published in specialized journals on the training of basketball coaches and students, examining their characteristics and needs. Specifically, it analyzes the content, technical-tactical actions, and methodologies used in practice and education programs to determine which essential parameters for their technical and tactical development.

Methods:

A structured search was carried out following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA®) guidelines and the PICOS® model until January 30, 2025, in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, SciELO, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, and Scopus databases. The risk of bias was assessed and the PEDro scale was used to analyze methodological quality.

Results:

A total of 14,090 articles were obtained in the initial search. After inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample was 23 articles. These studies maintained a high standard of quality. This revealed data on the technical-tactical actions addressed in different categories; the profiles, characteristics, and influence of coaches on player development; and the approaches, teaching methods, and evaluation methodologies used in acquiring knowledge and competencies for the professional development of basketball coaches.

Conclusions:

Adequate theoretical and practical training for basketball coaches is essential for player development. Therefore, training programs for basketball coaches must integrate technical-tactical, physical, and psychological knowledge with the acquisition of skills and competencies that are refined through practice. This training should be continuous, more specialized, and comprehensive, focusing on understanding and constructing knowledge that supports the professional growth of basketballers. Additionally, training should incorporate digital tools and informal learning opportunities, with blended learning emerging as the most effective methodology for this purpose.

Social Facilitation

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Study Design in Statistics

Study Design in Statistics

A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum: Problem Solving

Principle of Angular Impulse and Momentum: Problem Solving

Consider a ball of mass m, attached to a massless rod of known length, subjected to a time-dependent torque. If the initial velocity of the mass is known, then the final velocity of the mass for time t can be determined using the principle of angular impulse and momentum.
Initially, a free-body diagram of the system is drawn to illustrate all the forces acting upon the system, providing a crucial understanding of the dynamics at play. Then, the principle of angular impulse and momentum is...

The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
