The study explores the disparity in basketball skill proficiency between Sportspersons and Non-Sportspersons, aiming to understand the influence of sports participation on skill development. The objective of the study is to compare basketball skill proficiency levels between Sportspersons and Non-Sportspersons and investigate the structural differences in skill development between these two groups. The study employs a comparative analysis approach, utilizing statistical methods to assess basketball skill proficiency levels among Sportspersons and Non-Sportspersons. Skill proficiency data are collected through standardized assessments or self-reported measures, capturing various aspects of basketball skills such as shooting accuracy, dribbling proficiency, defensive capabilities, and overall game understanding. The results reveal significant disparities in basketball skill proficiency between Sportspersons and Non-Sportspersons. Sportspersons exhibit higher average skill levels compared to Non-Sportspersons, indicating a potential positive influence of sports participation on skill development. Moreover, the analysis identifies a greater variability in skill levels among Sportspersons, suggesting a diverse spectrum of skill acquisition within the basketball-playing population. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing the influence of sports participation on skill acquisition and performance outcomes in basketball. Participation in basketball activities appears to confer additional benefits beyond common factors, as evidenced by the statistically significant difference in mean skill proficiencies between Sportspersons and Non-Sportspersons. These findings underscore the potential role of sports engagement in fostering skill development and promoting overall growth and development within the sport.
