A Comparative study between basic and substitute players in physical – technical and functional performance of south oil club basketball players by أ.م.د عادل ناجي حسن أ.م.د شكري شاكر فالح

“… The importance of the study represents on that most coach focusing on substitute players and knowing their real level in technical – physical and functional performance , it must be equal the basic players level , the problem of the study shows that most substitute players are not the same level of basic players in most motoric skills and functional indicators , However , the aim of the study is identifying the differences between substitute and basic players in some motoric skills and functional indicators , whereas the hypnosis of the research is that there are statistical differences between substitute and basic players in some motoric skills and functional indicators of the samples of the study , Concerning the samples , they are the players of south oil club for the season 2017\2018 , the theoretical part deals with sport training and the effect of physical stress on the functional indicators , the researcher depends on the descriptive method on the sample which consists of (12) players , the fourth chapter presents the discussion of the results that shows the calculating vector (T) of all the results is bigger than the stander vector (T) , the vital conclusion is that all functional indicators and blood sugar make differences between the pro and after tests , while the main recommend at ion is that the enforcing on sising the physical fitness level and functional indicators of substitute players in corresponding with basic players .       …”
