In the present study we examined the interrelation of everyday life handedness and hand preference in basketball, as an area of expertise that requires individuals being proficient with both their non-dominant and dominant hand. A secondary aim was to elucidate the link between basketball-specific practice, hand preference in basketball and everyday life handedness. Therefore, 176 expert basketball players self-reported their hand preference for activities of daily living and for basketball-specific behavior as well as details about their basketball-specific history via questionnaire. We found that compared to the general population the one-hand bias was significantly reduced for both everyday life and basketball-specific hand preference (i.e., a higher prevalence of mixed-handed individuals), and that both concepts were significantly related. Moreover, only preference scores for lay-up and dribbling skills were significantly related to measures of basketball-specific practice. Consequently, training-induced modulations of lateral preference seem to be very specific to only a few basketball-specific skills, and do not generalize to other skills within the domain of basketball nor do they extend into everyday life handedness. The results are discussed in terms of their relevance regarding theories of handedness and their practical implications for the sport of basketball.
在本研究中，我们考察了日常生活中的用手习惯与篮球运动中的手偏好之间的相互关系，篮球运动作为一个专业领域，要求运动员熟练运用非优势手和优势手。第二个目的是阐明篮球专项练习、篮球运动中的手偏好与日常生活中的用手习惯之间的联系。因此，176名专业篮球运动员通过问卷调查，自我报告了他们在日常生活活动和篮球专项行为中的手偏好，以及他们篮球专项经历的细节。我们发现，与普通人群相比，在日常生活和篮球专项手偏好方面，单手偏好都显著降低（即混合用手个体的比例更高），并且这两个概念显著相关。此外，只有上篮和运球技巧的偏好得分与篮球专项练习的指标显著相关。因此，训练引起的侧向偏好变化似乎只针对少数篮球专项技能，不会推广到篮球领域的其他技能，也不会延伸到日常生活中的用手习惯。我们将根据这些结果与用手习惯理论的相关性及其对篮球运动的实际影响进行讨论。
