Height and mass were measured and stage of pubic hair was assessed at clinical examination. Six tests of functional capacity were evaluated: squat jump, countermovement jump, 60\u2010s sit\u2010ups, 2\u2010kg standing medicine ball throw, hand grip strength, and 20\u2010m multi\u2010stage shuttle run. Four basketball skills were tested (shooting, passing, dribbling, and defensive movements). Comparisons between basketball players of different sexual maturity status were performed using analysis of covariance (controlling for chronological age). Functional capacities and basketball skills appeared to be largely independent of pubertal status especially after controlling for variation in body size. Results of multiple linear regressions indicated chronological age as a significant predictor for four items, while maturity status was a significant predictor for only one item. The influence of body mass was negative for two functional indicators (jumping, multi\u2010stage shuttle run) and two basketball skills (dribbling, defensive movements), but positive for two functional tests of upper body strength (hand grip, ball throw). Height was positively correlated with two specific skills (passing, defensive movements), while a combination of tallness and heaviness was associated with a disadvantage on three functional capacities and two sport\u2010specific skills.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/17461390802117177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,3]],"date-time":"2008-10-03T11:32:14Z","timestamp":1223033534000},"page":"277-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Functional capacities and sport\u2010specific skills of 14\u2010 to 15\u2010year\u2010old male basketball players: Size and maturity effects"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Manuel J.","family":"Coelho E Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Science and Physical Education University of Coimbra Coimbra Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ant\u00f3nio J.","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Science and Physical Education University of Coimbra Coimbra Portugal"}]},{"given":"Humberto","family":"Moreira Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Science and Physical Education University of Coimbra Coimbra Portugal"}]},{"given":"Robert M.","family":"Malina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology University of Texas at Austin Austin TX USA"},{"name":"Tarleton State University Stephenville TX USA"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","first-page":"157","article-title":"Physiological and technical characteristics of elite young basketball players","volume":"44","author":"Apostolidis N.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","first-page":"173","article-title":"Anthropometric, body composition and performance variables of young elite female basketball players","volume":"31","author":"Bale P.","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00422166"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","unstructured":"Center for Disease Control and Prevention2000.National Center for Health Statistics CDC growth charts United States(available at:http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/growthcharts.htm)."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Size, shape and body proportion of young basketball players","volume":"24","author":"Chovanov\u00e1 E.","year":"1980","journal-title":"Anthrop Kozl"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","first-page":"91","article-title":"Crescimento, matura\u00e7\u00e3o e performance no contexto da forma\u00e7\u00e3o desportiva","volume":"4","author":"Coelho e Silva M.","year":"2004","journal-title":"Revista Portuguesa de Ci\u00eancias do Desporto"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2008-1025749"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","first-page":"37","volume-title":"Psychology of motor behavior and sport","author":"Deshaies P.","year":"1979"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02640410410001729991"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Multidimensional performance characteristics and standard of performance in talented youth field hockey players \u2013 a longitudinal study","volume":"24","author":"Elferink\u2010Gemser M.
