Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to compares the development of basic skill basketball performance between 3 study groups. First group has high Play Quotient, second group has moderate Play Quotient, and third group has low Play Quotient. Methods The 12year-old boy groups of Phathomnonsee School and Watchonglom School were selected to be the subjects. They were divided into three groups with fifteen players for each group by the Play Quotient test of Chuchchai Gomaratut, et al.(2006). All groups were trained with a basic basketball training program. The courses of training were for three days per week. The total duration of training was eight weeks. All subjects were tested a basic skill basketball performance by Harrison basketball battery tests. The subjects were tested at 3 different periods. (i.e.before experiment,after the fourth,and eighth weeks). The obtained data were analyzed in terms of means and standard deviations, Two-way ANOVA analysis of variance with repeated measure, One-way ANCOVA analysis of variance and pair wise Comparisons by Bonferronis methods were employed for statistical significant at the .05 level. Results 1.The comparison of basic skill basketball within groups. All groups have means of a development of basic skill basketball after eight weeks of experiment were significantly better than after four weeks and before experiment at the .05 level 2.The comparison of basic skill basketball between groups. Mean of basic skill basketball performance eight weeks of experiment, the first group (High Play Quotient) were significantly better than the seconed group(Moderate Play Quotient) and third group (Low Play Quotient) at the .05 level Conclusion The different levels of Play Quotient affects the development of basic skill basketball performance of 12-year-old boys and can be used as a consideration the young players to keep practicing high skills basketball performance.
