 INTRODUCTION

World Health Organization (WHO), defines physical activity as any bodily

movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure – including
activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling,
and engaging in recreational pursuits.

The term "physical activity" should not be confused with "exercise", which is a
subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and aims to
improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness. Beyond exercise,
any other physical activity that is done during leisure time, for transport to get to and
from places, or as part of a person’s work, has a health benefit. Further, both
moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity improve health.

In this module, you will also learn more about the history, court dimension,
rules, basic skills, and the proper equipment used in baseball.

LEARNING COMPETENCY:

❖ Execute the skills involved in the sport. PE8GS-IId-h-4

❖ Displays tolerance and acceptance of individuals with varying skills and
abilities. PE8PF-IId-h-37

At the end of this module, you will be expected to:

❖ Discuss the five (5) basic skills in basketball.
❖ Execute the skills involved in the sport.
❖ Show appreciation of one’s skills and abilities in sports.

1. What do you think is the importance of playing different sports such as

basketball in physical fitness? Write at least three (3) importance.
2. What are the possible outcomes if you have a sedentary lifestyle?

What is It

Active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into your everyday
routines, such as walking to the store, biking to work or engaging into different sports.
There are many health related benefits to being physically active and living
an active life. Active living can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve
your overall health and well-being, reduce stress levels, minimize health related
medical costs, help you to maintain a healthy weight, assist in proper balance and
posture and the maintenance of healthy bones and strong muscles. Active living can
also improve your sleeping patterns and aid in the prevention of risk factors for heart
disease such as blood cholesterol levels,
diabetes and hypertension.
The fundamentals of basketball are the
MOST important thing to master because they
will make you and your team better no matter
what age level or team you play for.

5 BASIC SKILLS IN BASKETBALL

❖ Dribbling
Dribbling is the act of bouncing the ball continuously with one hand and is a
requirement for a player to take steps with the ball. To dribble, a player pushes the ball
down towards the ground with the fingertips rather than patting it; this ensures greater
control.
When dribbling past an opponent, the dribbler should dribble with the hand farthest
from the opponent, making it more difficult for the defensive player to get to the ball. It
is therefore important for a player to be able to dribble competently with both hands.

4
 ❖ Shooting
Shooting is the act of attempting to score points by throwing the ball through
the basket, methods varying with players and situations.
Typically, a player faces the basket with both feet facing the basket. A player
will rest the ball on the fingertips of the dominant hand (the shooting arm) slightly above
the head, with the other hand supporting the side of the ball. The ball is usually shot
by jumping (though not always) and extending the shooting arm. The shooting arm,
fully extended with the wrist fully bent, is held stationary for a moment following the
release of the ball, known as a follow-through. Players often try to put a steady
backspin on the ball to absorb its impact with the rim. The ideal trajectory of the shot
is somewhat controversial, but generally a proper arc is recommended. Players may
shoot directly into the basket or may use the backboard to redirect the ball into the
basket.
The two most common shots that use the above described setup are the set
shot and the jump shot. Both are preceded by a crouching action which preloads the
muscles and increases the power of the shot. In a set shot the shooter straightens up
and throws from a standing position with neither foot leaving the floor; this is typically
used for free throws. For a jump shot, the throw is taken in mid-air with the ball being
released near the top of the jump. This provides much greater power and range, and
it also allows the player to elevate over the defender. Failure to release the ball before
the feet return to the floor is considered a traveling violation.
❖ Running
In basketball, run and gun is a fast, freewheeling style of play that features a
high number of field goal attempts, resulting in high-scoring games. The offense
typically relies on fast breaks while placing less emphasis on set plays. A run-and-gun
team typically allows many points on defence as well.
In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the run and gun was at its peak
in the 1960s when teams scored an average of 115 points a game. Around 2003, the
average had dropped to 95. The Boston Celtics were a run-and-gun team in the 1950s
and 1960s while winning 11 NBA championships, as were the five-time champion Los
Angeles Lakers during their Showtime Era in the 1980s.
❖ Passing
A pass is a method of moving the ball between players. Most passes are
accompanied by a step forward to increase power and are followed through with the
hands to ensure accuracy.
A staple pass is the chest pass. The ball is passed directly from the passer's
chest to the receiver's chest. A proper chest pass involves an outward snap of the
thumbs to add velocity and leaves the defense little time to react.
Another type of pass is the bounce pass. Here, the passer bounces the ball
crisply about two-thirds of the way from his own chest to the receiver. The ball strikes
the court and bounces up toward the receiver. The bounce pass takes longer to
complete than the chest pass, but it is also harder for the opposing team to intercept
(kicking the ball deliberately is a violation). Thus, players often use the bounce pass
in crowded moments, or to pass around a defender.

5
 The overhead pass is used to pass the ball over a defender. The ball is
released while over the passer's head.
The outlet pass occurs after a team gets a defensive rebound. The next pass
after the rebound is the outlet pass.
The crucial aspect of any good pass is its being difficult to intercept. Good
passers can pass the ball with great accuracy and they know exactly where each of
their other teammates prefer to receive the ball. A special way of doing this is passing
the ball without looking at the receiving teammate. This is called a no-look pass.
Another advanced style of passing is the behind-the-back pass, which, as the
description implies, involves throwing the ball behind the passer's back to a teammate.
Although some players can perform such a pass effectively, many coaches discourage
no-look or behind-the-back passes, believing them to be difficult to control and more
likely to result in turnovers or violations.
❖ Blocking

In basketball, a block or blocked shot occurs when a defensive player legally

deflects a field goal attempt from an offensive player to prevent a score. The defender
is not allowed to make contact with the offensive player's hand (unless the defender
is also in contact with the ball) or a foul is called. In order to be legal, the block must
occur while the shot is traveling upward or at its apex. A deflected field goal that is
made does not count as a blocked shot and simply counts as a successful field goal
attempt for shooter plus the points awarded to the shooting team. For the shooter, a
blocked shot is counted as a missed field goal attempt. Also, on a shooting foul, a
blocked shot cannot be awarded or counted, even if the player who deflected the field
goal attempt is different from the player who committed the foul. If the ball is heading
downward when the defender hits it, it is ruled as goaltending and counts as a made
basket. Goaltending is also called if the block is made after the ball bounces on the
backboard (NFHS excepted; the NCAA also used this rule until the 2009–10 season).
