Abstract:
|
Individual excellence has improved continually as
athletes have sought to meet new standards through the implementation of scientifically controlled diets, training
methods, and techniques. Team excellence and spectator
interest, likewise, has been improved by the use of these
scientific advancements and by legislation which has been
passed in team sports to allow the growth of the sport to
parallel the growth of the participants. The high quality
of equipment and facilities, the elimination of the center
jump after baskets, and the widening of the key area are
examples of the growth in basketball.
Taking these ideas into consideration, this study was
motivated by a desire to evaluate the possibility that further
legislation was needed to keep the game of basketball abreast
with the phenomenal physical and technical growth of players. |
