The impact of moderate and high intensity total body fatigue on passing accuracy in expert and novice basketball players.

Abstract

to investigate the effect of moderate and high intensity total body fatigue on basketball-passing accuracy in expert and novice basketball players.Fatigue intensity was set as a percentage of the maximal number of squat thrusts performed by the participant in one minute.ANOVA with repeated measures revealed a significant level of fatigue by level of skill interaction.Despite a significant detriment in passing-performance in both novice and expert players following high intensity total body fatigue, this detriment was not as steep in the expert players when compared to the novice players.
