pending the least amount of energy to get the desired eaite.

Another controlling factor in reducing the amount of action was pri-
marily due to the type of offense used by these teams, Set plays were
dominant in the State Class "A" Tournament in which passing was used
to draw opponents out of position before an attempt to score was made,

The time consumed to play a single game was less in the
State Class "A" Tournament than was the case in the other games timed,
Probable reasons for less consumption of time was perhaps due to two
factors (1) less substitutions (2) smaller number of fouls and fewer
violations,

This study indicates that on the criterion used for activity,
high school basketball players consume a relatively small amount of
game time in activity. Guards as a group use less time for action
than do forwards or centers. The latter two are about equally active
unless teams use a post type of offense- in that case the man at the
post position moves the less,

As previously stated it can be assumed that members of
the teams playing in a State Class "a" Tournament have better methods
of securing definite goals with the least amount of activity possible,
It is presumed for this reason that one finds less time used for act«-
ivity during the State Class "A" Tournament games than in games of
regular season or games in other tournaments,

| St 42 difficult to compare this study with others as very
little avaiftable information was found about movements of high school
basketball players, As has Been previously stated most studies re-
garding basketball players deal with the possible organic injury,

therefore, very little compaPison can be made,. Data will present

their own facts,
