Abstract
Systematic observation of the rhythm of play in basketball is essential for the planning of training sessions. This study pursued two objectives: a) to create an observational tool, BASKETRHYTHM, in order to analyse the rhythm of play in basketball that integrates technical and tactical actions, as well as the duration of possessions; and b) to conduct a pilot study so as to evaluate the rhythm of play with this new tool. Expert judgement showed a high validity of BASKETRHYTHM (76% positive agreement). The results of the pilot study indicated that a higher rhythm of play is associated with a higher effectiveness of possessions, and significant differences were observed between quarters and types of competition (domestic vs. international). The results of this study showed that BASKETRHYTHM is a valid and reliable tool for analysing the rhythm of play in basketball, which can contribute to optimising performance in this sport.
