Positions pedagogy method : its influence in the making of decisions of female basketball players during the offensive phase

ABSTRACT: This research evaluated the influence of the Positions Pedagogy Method (PPM) (suggested by Blázquez, 1986) on female college basketball players at the time of making decisions. For decisions making, Refoyo’s (2001) and Iglesias’ (2005) suggestions were applied. 24 subjects participated in this study; the participants were divided into two groups, one experimental group and one control group. The results showed, that the positions pedagogy method (PPM) produced significant changes in the decisions making on the action two against one. These changes can be explained by the modification in making decisions (cortical areas), as a result of the repetitions performed during the experimental phase of this work.RESUMEN: Esta investigación evaluó la influencia del Método Pedagogía de las Situaciones (MPS), (propuesta de Blázquez, 1986), sobre la toma de decisiones de jugadoras de baloncesto universitario.
