Developing sport expertise in youth sport: a decision training program in basketball.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study has analyzed the impact of applying a decision training program, in which video-feedback and questioning were used, on the development of decision-making, skill execution and procedural knowledge in basketball players.

Methods

Participants were eleven male players aged between 12 and 13 years old (M _age = 12.75, SD _age = .65), who were assigned to an experimental or control group within a pre-test/intervention test/retention test quasi-experimental design. The decision training program was applied over 11 weeks. Throughout this intervention, players had to analyze the causes and reasons for the decision made, using video feedback and questioning to this end.
