Preliminary development and validation of an assessment instrument of basketball individual technical-tactical performance

The present study aimed to develop and validate preliminarily a Basketball individual technical-tactical performance assessment instrument in the initial Basketball categories (IAD-BB). The items selection was based upon specific literature and other performance assessment instruments. Ten Physical Education professionals have validated the instrument content. The intra-rater and inter-raters reliabilities were tested through two players games' actions observation. Data analysis included percentage calculation, correlation coefficients (Spearman, intra-class) and Kappa's inter-raters agreement index. Results presented high inter-raters agreement percentage both in action items and in technical-tactical components. The intra and inter-raters reliability data presented satisfactory correlation and agreement indexes. It was possible to conclude that the IAD-BB revealed itself to be a scientific valid instrument and an useful assessment technique in the game analysis researches.
