Motor Achievements Differences In Basketball for Junior High School Students

The aim of this research has been determination of differences in motor achievements in basketball for junior high school students. This research involved 280 participants, male gender, devided in four subsamples each of them 70 participants. Each subsample has represented one grade between 6th-9th grade. Motor  achievements test in basketball have estimated achievements using  five tests, which have required application of  catching and passing, dribbling  and shooting on basket  techniques. For data processing analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used, while post hoc analysis Bonferroni  method has been used for determining the partial differences between subsamples. Partial differences have been proved in motor achievemnets test  of  catching  and passing in set position, catching and passing in movement, as well as dribbling  in slalom and shooting on basket  in 30 sec , while in shooting on basket from different positions in 60 sec test those differences have not been proved. Using post hoc analysis has been confirmed that in most tests there have been no differences between subsamples of  6th and 7th, as well as between 8th and 9th grade.
There is existance of  deffernces between younger and older tested subsamples due to  higher  level of  motor skills, which has been developed by teaching process and developement of  motor abilities, on the other hand which have been influenced by faster growing and developing  process, that has been especially noticable  in older tested  subsamples. Lack of  significant differences between the results in 6th and 7 th, 8th and 9th  grade indicates necessity of  longer involvment  in teaching process in order  to  have significant  changes in features, among others motor skills and motor abilities, which contribute to  better  results in tested  variables. Better effects of  teaching process can be expected if we analyze implementation plan and program, which includes assessment of presented teaching contains during the classes and which  methodical organisation forms of work have been implemented, as well as evaluation of implemented plan and program  in order to get  feedback  about  success of  implementation.
