Desenvolvimento motor na iniciação ao basquetebol

Abstract

Motor development is a process of changes in motor behavior that occur throughout life. This process is influenced by hereditary and environmental factors. Sports initiation refers to the individual's first contact with a sports modality and is a period that provides a good sensory and motor gain. Basketball initiation is important for this development. Objective: To identify the influences of basketball initiation on the motor development of subjects aged 7 years and older. Method: Bibliographic research, narrative type. Sources such as books, articles and course completion papers on the subject were used. Results: It was identified that the initiation to basketball generates positive effects in motor development through the realization of basic and specific skills. Conclusions: Motor development is extremely important for activities of daily living, so it is important that these are developed in a way that respects each stage of development in which the individual is. Basketball, a collective sport, is capable of promoting this development through the learning stages (cognitive, associative and autonomous), with intrinsic and extrinsic feedback being extremely important.
