Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Technological instruments and methods for monitoring, observation, and analysis have become increasingly important for gaining insights into basketball performance. Thus, this literature review aimed to compile information about methods and instruments for observational analysis in Basketball. Previous studies have applied several valid methods for physiological, technical, and tactical analysis in Basketball, specifically: Instrument for evaluating individual technical-tactical performance in Basketball (IAD-BB); Team Sports Assessment Procedure (TSAP); Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI). Also, this type of analysis can be supported by time-motion analysis (TMA) analysis using analysis software with emphasis on Match Vision (software Studio 3.0, International Basketball Federation). In conclusion, the application of observation and analysis instruments in Basketball is valid, and repeatableObservational analysis can be applied in Basketball insights for talent identification; training design and management; technical and tactical performance analysis. Future challenges and research issues will be to compare observation strategies that combine instruments, integrating physical, technical, and tactical factors in Basketball performance analysis.
