THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LATERAL MOVEMENT AND POWER IN FEMALE ADOLESCENT BASKETBALL PLAY
Abstract
Purpose. Lateral movement is an important quality to performance
in basketball. The relationship between lateral
movement as measured by a side-step test and power as
measured by a lateral hop and vertical jump is largely
unstudied. Methods. Female adolescent basketball players
(n = 51) participated in this study. The study used a Pearson’s
product-moment correlation to measure the relationship
between the lateral side-step test (LST), countermovement
vertical jump (CMVJ, and lateral hop (LH). Results. There
was a moderate relationship between LST and LH (r = .487
to .626, p < .001), and a small relationship between the LST
and CMVJ (r = .279, p = .048 to .309, p = .028). There was
a moderate significant relationship between CMVJ and LH (r
= .370, p = .008 and r = .441, p = .001). Conclusions. These
results suggest that the plane of movement affects the relationship
of power and lateral movement in adolescent female
basketball players.
