Abstrakt: To quantify and compare the external peak demands (PDs) encountered according to team's venue (home vs. away) in under-18 years (U18), male basketball players. 12 basketball players had external load variables monitored across 16 official games using inertial movement units (IMUs). PDs were calculated across 1-min and 5-min time windows for PlayerLoad™ (PL). Linear mixed models for repeated measures were used to compare PDs for PL according to playing venue (home vs. away). Regarding 1- and 5-min time windows, no significant differences (p > 0.05, small effect size) were apparent between playing venues. External PDs remain consistent (small effects) regardless of playing venue in U18, male basketball players. Accordingly, playing venue may not be a key determinant of external PD attained during official games. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
