摘要：This study compared declarative (DTK) and processual tactical knowledge (PTK) of basketball athletes, considering different times of practice, categories, and their ranking in the season. The sample was composed of 67 female athletes, aged between 12 and 17 years old (14.60±1.25), participants in the U14 and U17 state season of 2018, in order to join the assessment of the DTK test. Concerning PTK, there were two teams, one of each category. We analyzed data through the two-way ANOVA, the T test, and Pearson and Cohen Kappa’s correlations. When considering the moments of the season, the DTK of U17 was higher than U14 during the first and second moments, with significance values of 0.003 and 0.001, respectively. Regarding their ranking, finalists were better at DTK in both categories during first and second moments. We did not find a correlation between DTK and PTK. We concluded that the time of practice did not interfere with the DTK or PTK levels, the U17 category was better at DTK facing U14, except at the third moment of the season, and finalists presented better DTK.
