Neurodynamic characteristics of qualified basketball players

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of neurodynamic characteristics and determines their influence on the formation of the skill level of qualified basketball players. Methods of assessment of simple visual-motor reaction, balance of nervous processes and functional mobility of nervous processes were applied using hardware and software computer complex "Multipsychometer-05". It is shown that skilled basketball players demonstrate a low level of speed of a simple sensorimotor reaction. The obtained data confirmed the opinion of other researchers that simple reactions are not significant for successful performance in game sports. Complex reactions are more important and significant, affecting the result, because almost all activities in basketball and other game sports are built on complex reactions. It was established that for qualified basketball players, a characteristic feature is a balance between the processes of inhibition and excitation, which is confirmed by the values of the level of manifestation of the excitation process according to the "Reaction to a moving object" test. In the test of functional mobility of nervous processes, qualified basketball players have an average level of speed of mastering the skill of performing a new task, a lower than average level of bandwidth, an average level of the minimum inter-signal interval, which reflects the maximum speed of information processing, the parameters of reflectivity and impulsivity are balanced, but there is a tendency to the shift of indicators in the direction of reflectivity. According to the research results, it can be concluded that this level of neurodynamic characteristics is sufficient to ensure game activity in basketball.
