This study explores how male and female basketball players at the Sports Authority of India's hostel differ in their body awareness (kinesthetic perception) and basketball skills. We tested 20 male and 20 female national-level players, aged 18 to 25, using the Johnson Basketball Skill Test and Kinesthetic Obstacle Test. The results show that male players generally have a higher kinesthetic perception score compared to females, suggesting a possible gender-based difference in body awareness. However, we need more information (standard deviation values) to understand how much individuals vary within each group. The study suggests practical recommendations for training and coaching. We propose creating training programs that consider these gender differences and using personalized coaching strategies based on individual needs. Additionally, we recommend interventions that focus on improving both body awareness and basketball skills. Our study points to the importance of considering gender-specific training and coaching approaches. These findings highlight the potential for tailored interventions to enhance athlete performance by addressing gender-related differences in body awareness. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into how kinesthetic perception may impact male and female basketball players, urging further investigation for practical implications in sports training.
