Abstract

Background and Aim: The development of youth basketball players faces challenges like inadequate training programs and limited access to quality coaching. There was also a lack of integration of sports science. The objectives of this research were (1) to explore the factors of training for the basketball team based on performance analysis of the men's basketball World Cup 2023 competition. (2) to develop a training program for the basketball youth player. (3) to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program for the youth player.


Materials and Methods: This study was a research and development phase 1 to explore the personal technique of 32 teams with a survey method and 8 teams in the quarterfinal with game analysis by a computer program analysis of the team technique of the Men's Basketball World Cup 2023 competition. Phase 2 to develop a training program for the basketball youth player based on performance analysis was conducted with a focus group by the snowball method with eleven experts, and Phase 3 to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program for the youth player was conducted with the connoisseurship method with seven experts. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview and an evaluation of effectiveness questionnaire. Data analysis was mean and standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, and a significant difference set at .05.


Results: The results found that (1) player position analysis centers show higher 2P% and FG%. 3P% shows no position differences, challenging traditional role expectations. (2) Training program structure that emphasizes a periodized approach with balanced strength, skill, tactical training, and appropriate recovery protocols. (3) Expert Evaluation Results: The program received a high rating (4.61±0.73), with strength conditioning scoring highest (4.86±0.38).


Conclusion: The basketball training program, developed through a three-phase research approach analyzing 2023 World Cup data, received outstanding expert validation (4.61±0.73). The analysis of player performance showed important differences in 2P%, FG%, rebounds, blocks, assists, and steals, which helped create a training plan that includes excellent strength conditioning.
