Introduction: A multivariate training program could be a pedagogical choice to
improve physical and tactical performance in a team sport taught during
physical education classes at different levels of education. Thus, the aim of this
study was to verify the effects of applying a multivariate training program on
physical fitness and tactical performance during the teaching of a basketball
didactic unit in basic and secondary education.
Methods: Seventy-five students from a Portuguese school, with an average age of
15.02 ± 1.31 years, included forty-two students from basic school and thirty-three
students from secondary school. The FITescola® test battery was used to assess
physical fitness (i.e., sit-ups, push-ups, horizontal impulse, shuttle test, 40 m
sprint, agility 4 × 10 m). The Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI)
was used to assess students’ tactical performance for each player’s game
performance during a 20-minute 3 vs. 3 match. The GPAI variables were
decision making index (DMI), skill execution index (SEI), support actions index
(SI), and adaptability index (AI). During a basketball didactic unit teaching, the
students were randomly divided into two groups, a control group that will not
carry out the training program and an experimental group that will carry out a
strength training program, high intensity explosive exercises and activities based
on small-sided games (SSG) for 6 weeks. The two groups were evaluated in two
moments: before the application of the training program and after the
application of the training program regarding changes in physical fitness and
tactical performance. The independent samples t-test (samples from two
groups) and paired sample Test (for the same group) were applied for pre and
post-assessment comparisons.
Results: All indexes present significant differences between basic and secondary
students in the pre- and post-assessment tests with small effects (t = −6.54 to
−4.82, Δ = −27.57 to −0.16, p<0.05–p< 0.001, d = 0.78–1.05).
Discussion: The results allow to conclude that in a school environment, a wellstructured
multivariate training program can effectively improve students’ tactical
skills, increasing their physical conditioning levels.
