Basquete 3x3: análise da produção científica sobre os indicadores de desempenho técnico-tático do jogo

Abstract

This study aimed to answer the following research question: Which technical-tactical indicators are described as determinants of team performance in 3x3 Basketball in the scientific literature? Accordingly, the general objective was to identify and analyze scientific articles that investigated the technical-tactical performance indicators of 3x3 Basketball, also considering, when possible, comparisons with the technical-tactical indicators of 5x5 Basketball. This is a qualitative research study, following the format of a literature review and mapping of scientific production. As a strategy, a search was conducted in the Google Scholar database for articles that addressed 3x3 Basketball according to FIBA’s official rules, presented some indicator related to the technical-tactical demands of the sport, and were published between the years 2020 and 2025. After the first selection stage, a total of twenty-five (25) documents were identified. A preliminary analysis was carried out by reading the title, abstract, and keywords, revealing that in nine (9) of the documents, technical-tactical aspects were not present, one (1) was found only in the form of a thesis, one (1) was not available in its full version and one (1) was excluded for providing inaccurate information regarding the occurrence of the Tokyo 2021 Summer Olympic Games. Thus, a total of thirteen (13) documents remained, from which the objectives, methods, and main scientific findings of each study were described. The results indicate that 3x3 Basketball demands higher intensity actions, quicker decision making, and greater offensive tactical variability among winning teams. The analysis of the studies shows that teams with better performance in 3x3 Basketball stand out due to shooting efficiency, the use of collective plays involving all three players, the emphasis on 2-point shots, and high offensive efficiency following both offensive and defensive rebounds.
