Game Statistics

Forum » Other » Game Statistics
Thanks for everything ,and I'm very greatful for your marvelous tips . My question ( Is there accurate statistics about :
1- The distance a player could be run in a game.
2- How many jumps.
3- How many shoots .
And other statistics.)
Can I ask you why you are looking for these statistics.... and what age level are you looking for..... By game - by the season?

I doubt if anyone is keeping stats for these two....

1- The distance a player could be run in a game.
2- How many jumps.
Coach, I'm guessing you are wondering about these stats for conditioning or training purposes.

If so, I was fortunate to read a book by Vern Gambetta called Athletic Development. In the book, it talks about a study done by the Australian Professional League in which they tracked running, jumping, etc. Keep in mind, this study is done on professional athletes that played 4 12-minute quarters.

Here is the stats from the study:

Total time for each activity:
Walking or standing: 4 minutes
Jogging: 4 minutes
Running: 4 minutes
Sprinting: 3 minutes
Shuffling at low to medium intensity: 9 minutes
Shuffling at high intensity: 2 minutes
Jumping: 41 seconds

1000 Different movements indicates that the game has many high-intensity quick changes.
28 Percent was strenuous exertion.
Intense activity occurred in bursts of 13 to 14 seconds at a tieme.
There were 105 high-intensity efforts per game.
There was an intense effort every 21 seconds.

Lateral movements made up 31 percent of the game. 2/3 of these movements were intense. Duration was 1 to 4 seconds.

Sprinters were 1 to 5 seconds.

30% of jumps were low intensity, 45% were medium intensity, & 25% were high intensity. Average number of jumps were 70. 55 for Guards, 83 for Centers, and 72 for forwards.


I actually wrote an article about conditioning for basketball that contains this study, but never finished it.
Great information Joe... I never knew anyone took stats like this.
