THE EFFECT OF SKILL TESTS ON SKILL SELECTION IN BASKETBALL

Öz

This study aimed to synthesize studies on the effects of performance tests on talent selection in basketball and to gather them under a single roof. The results of the study are important in terms of highlighting which tests give healthier and more reliable results in basketball talent selection. The method of the research was determined as meta-synthesis, one of the qualitative research methods. In this context, scientific research articles on performance tests and basketball talent selection were examined. The results and recommendations of the studies published until May 2023 on the subject in Google Scholar, Pubmed and Dergipark database constitute the findings of this research. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the performance tests, whose validity and reliability have been proven, directly affect the selection of talent in basketball. The results were interpreted and discussed within the framework of the purpose of the research, and some suggestions were made for future studies.

BASKETBOLDA PERFORMANS TESTLERİNİN YETENEK SEÇİMİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Bu çalışma, performans testlerinin basketbolda yetenek seçimine olan etkilerini incelemeye yönelik çalışmaları sentezleyerek tek bir çatı altında toplamayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışmada ortaya çıkan sonuçlar, basketbolda yetenek seçiminde hangi testlerin daha sağlıklı ve güvenilir sonuçlar verdiğini ön plana çıkarması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmanın yöntemi nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden meta-sentez olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, performans testleri ve basketbolda yetenek seçimi konulu bilimsel araştırma makaleleri incelenmiştir. Google Scholar, Pubmed ve dergipark veri tabanında konuyla ilgili Mayıs 2023 tarihine kadar yayınlanmış çalışmaların sonuç ve öneriler bölümü bu araştırmanın bulgularını oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda geçerlik ve güvenirliği kanıtlanmış olan performans testlerinin, basketbolda yetenek seçimine doğrudan etki ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ulaşılan sonuçlar araştırmanın amacı çerçevesinde yorumlanarak tartışılmış ve ileride yapılacak çalışmalar için bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
