Resumen

High performance in a vertical jump, ability to repeat short sprints (RSA) and muscle power are all three most relevant factors for professional basketball players. Still, there is a lack of studies analyzing the differences of these variables between professional and young basketball players. The aim of this research is to study the differences on the vertical jump, the RSA and mechanical power between professional and elite young basketball players. For this, 11 professional (n = 11, age = 24.3 ± 5.5 years, height = 200 ± 10.4 cm, weight = 98.4 ± 8.7 kg) and nine elite young basketball players (n = 9, age = 15.2 ± 0.4 years, height = 190 ± 6.5 cm, weight = 78.2 ± 5.2 kg) were tested on the Repeated Sprint Test (RAST), Countermovement Jump (CMJ) before and after the RAST, 35 m sprint, and the mechanical power produced in these. The results show non-significance between groups as regards the RAST fatigue index, CMJ height and 35 m sprint time. However, professional players produced significantly more power in these variables than young elite players (p < 0.05 - 0.001). These findings may have significant practical relevance on training programs intended for young basketball players
