Ejercicios técnicos defensivos del baloncesto en las capacidades motrices básicas en estudiantes de educación general básica media

Abstract

The topic of Defensive technical exercises in basketball and basic motor skills in students of General Basic Education is relevant due to its impact on the development of fundamental physical skills, such as coordination, agility, and motor control, which are essential for the holistic development of students. Basketball, with its defensive technical exercises, allows for the effective training of these motor skills, benefiting both athletic performance and the physical development of young people. The main objective of the research was to determine how basketball's defensive technical exercises affect the basic motor skills of students at Unidad Educativa Bolívar. The methodology used was quantitative and pre-experimental, employing the Wilcoxon statistical test, with a p-value < 0.05, which validated the hypothesis that these exercises improve motor skills. Before the intervention, most students were at a medium level of motor coordination (91.5%), with 5.6% at a low level and only 2.8% at a high level. After the intervention, the results showed a significant improvement, as 87.3% of the students reached a high level of motor coordination, with only 12.7% remaining at a medium level. These results align with previous research, such as that by Vera and García (2013), which demonstrated how defensive exercises like lateral sliding and the defensive stance improve coordination and agility. In conclusion, the implementation of defensive technical exercises in basketball has a positive impact on the basic motor skills of students, supporting their physical development and performance in sports.
