Analysis of Bioenergetics and Fatigue Responses in Basketball (TEAM) (TEAM)
sTudy of the bioEnergetics and fAtigue Responses of a Basketball gaMe: The TEAM Trial
The aims of the study are:
- To examine skeletal muscle and blood metabolites during an official basketball game and to relate those to skeletal muscle performance during and after the game.
- To investigate whether skeletal muscle and blood metabolites are related to game-induced fatigue.
- To relate field activity during a basketball game with the responses of skeletal muscle and blood metabolites.
- To investigate how blood lactate reflects muscle lactate concentration during a basketball game.
- To determine whether temporary fatigue develops during a basketball game. game.

Participants will arrive 1.5 hours pre-game for initial vastus lateralis muscle biopsies and blood sampling under local anesthesia (20 mg/ml xylocaine without adrenalin).
They will be fitted with IMU sensors and heart rate monitors.
Volunteers are randomly assigned to teams(6 teams) for a full 40-minute game.
During the match, physiological measurements will be performed at fixed times (pre, at half-time, and post-match) and after intense exercise periods (HR>90% max, high-speed runs>18km/h) within the four 10-min periods.
Three groups provide samples: Group 1 (n=15): rest, half-time, end-game.
Group 2 (n=8): rest, post-intense period in 1st/3rd periods.
Group 3 (n=7): rest, post-intense period in 2nd/4th periods.
Ten players serve as substitutes.
Games will start at 17.00 - 18 p.m. to avoid diurnal variations and will be held under normal environmental conditions.
A standardized 30-min warm-up period will be performed before each game.
