Abstract

Objective: To explore the connection between basketball skills and specific cognitive abilities of individual youth players.

Methods: The research was carried out on a sample of 80 players aged 7 to 11, from various Ancon basketball teams. Basketball skills were assessed with 15 tests, covering most basketball activities: shooting, passing, dribbling, playing without the ball in attack and defense. The cognitive abilities of the basketball players were assessed with five tests: Domino Test D48 (general intelligence test), and four tests of perceptual factor cognitive abilities.

Results: The results of the canonical analysis showed that both domains are correlated (canonical correlation coefficient R = 0.727, thus the coefficient of determination R² = 0.529). Only the first factor was significant and accounts for 53% of the explained variance. The cognitive skill variables with the largest projection on the first factor and contributing most to the connection between these two domains are perceptual identification, perceptual analysis, logical reasoning, and visual specialization.

Conclusions: The correlation obtained from these two areas highlights the importance of cognitive abilities in the training process of basketball players, as well as in the process of learning and improving the development of basketball skills.
