Abstract
2020/2021 season Latvian youth basketball season started in
September and lasted for a month without an audience. The championship’s
regular season games were stopped for all Youth Basketball League’s team.
Starting with 2020 October physical preparation workouts were happening
in a park and also as 1:1 workout session – a coach and a player. The
country issued many regulatory documents for organizing workouts.
Starting with the 21st of December 2020, it was prohibited to organize a
workout indoors. Coaches and players continued to keep their physical
shape in outdoor workouts and hoped that the season will continue. But the
competition season was discontinued. When the summer preparation season
started, day and 24-hour camps were allowed at sport schools. On the 7th of
May 2021, the Latvian Youth Basketball League issued control standards in
Physical Conditioning, which the disciples of sport schools had to meet by
the 31st of August 2021. The disciples of MT-5 (preparation training group
in the fifth year of study) and MT-6 (preparation training group in the sixth
year of study) had to perform at least 4 out of 6 physical conditioning
control exercises. Control standards: 20m run from a standing position,
60m run from a standing position, skipping on the skipping rope (30 sec.),
passes with both hands from the chest for a 2m distance (30 sec.), long jump
from place and a long-distance pass with the basketball ball. The results
confirm that the disciples of groups MT-5 (aged 14) and MT-6 (aged 15)
have very low physical conditioning standards, which does not facilitate
improvement in physical conditioning.
