Erratum: A Cross-sectional Comparative Study of Movement Distances and Speed of the Players and a Ball in Basketball Game [Int. J. Sport Hlth. Sci. 6: 203-212 (2008)]

Abstract

high school in which A-high school won, 74-68), the xxth Western Collegiate Basketball Championship women’s consolation match to decide third place (C-college vs. D-college in which C college won, 75-68), and the 200x-x?1W-League Playoff Final 1st game (E-team vs. F- team in which E-team won, 98-73). In this study, the movement distances/speeds of all the players and the ball were calculated by 3-dimensional photography analysis in which the DLT method was used. Main results were as follows. 1) The average and standard deviation (S.D.) of the movement distance of all players were: high school players, 5587?171 m; college players, 5576?202m; and WJBL players, 6177?264m. Moreover, the average and standard deviation of the movement distance per 1 minute were: high school players, 93.4?3.1 m; college players, 100.4?4.1m; and WJBL players, 94.2?3.5m. 2) The average and S.D. of the fastest movement speed were: high school players, 7.03?0.51 m/s; college players, 7.41?0.26m/s; WJBL players, 8.01?0.46m/s. 3) From calculation of the frequency distribution for the speed ratio to the fastest movement speed, the ratio of the movement intensity in a game was high :middle : low?1 : 4 :5. These finding revealed although the quantity of motion and movement intensity in the game did not differ much by age, each player’s individual capability differed clearly.
