A study on the relationship between the patterns of ball possession and results of offense of basketball games

-A comparison of female students' games between college and high school-

Abstract

    The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the pattems of ball possession and the results of offensive actions by female college students and female high school students respectively.

    Research on female college students and female high school students shows the influences caused by the differences in ball possession pattems on the ending pattems of offensive actions.

    A comparison of the ball possession pattems with the results of offensive movements has been done. As for college students, significant correlation between the ball possession pattems and the ending forms of offensive movements was acknowledged. In case of high school students, however, no particular correlation was acknowledged.

    For a more detailed analysis, winners and losers for both college and high school students were divided into two groups and a new comparison was conducted.

    The results show that for high school students being winners or losers wasn't in relation with ball possession pattems and the ending forms of offensive movements; for college students, we found a relationship between the ratio of the ending forms of offensive movements and the general defensive formations.

    So, it can be concluded that by dividing the groups in winner and loser, we were able to recognize the differences between high school and college students.
