摘要：Basketball is a sport in which physical characteristics give significant advantages to the player, the cognitive functions such as game intelligence, instinct and perception as virtues having vital importance in team play make distinction between the players, and different tactical strategies are used during the matches. . The purpose of our study is to determine the relation between skill levels and some physical parameters and the multi-intelligence domains of the basketball players, and also to compared the basketball specific skill levels and multi-intelligence domains according to their socio-economic levels. 42 basketball players with mean age of 13,71±0,82 year and the mean sporting experience of 4,21±1,52 year participated the study voluntarily. Anthropometric measurements of the sportsmen were conducted (body weight, height) and their Body Mass Indices (BMI) were calculated. . In determination of the multi intelligent domains, “Self Assessment Inventory at Multiple Intelligence Domains” was used. The questionnaire prepared by the researcher was applied on the basketball players to determine the socio-economic levels. In determination of basketball specific skills, Johnson Basketball Skill test was used. As a positive weak relation was determined between the age and sport experience of the players and the basketball-specific skill level (r: 0,303, r: 0,308, p<0.05, respectively), a positive weak relation was determined between the skill level and the musical intelligence (r: 0,331; p<0,05). A significant difference was found in favor of the individuals who did sports in the family in terms of social intelligence score (p<0,05). Consequently, it may be stated that age and sport experience has not high effect on the skill level. The effect of the musical / rhythmic intelligence on the skill of the weak may be due to the skill-required movements being performed in a certain rhythm. Sports contributes to the socialization process by providing to improve social skills such as communication, responsibility, empathy, cooperation and sharing. It can be evidence that the social intelligence levels of children who played sports in their family are high.
