摘要:The main aim of the paper was to present the SAGIT measuring system and to establish the covered distance and the average velocity of basketball players' movements by using the aforementioned system. The SAGIT system is a relatively new technology which is based on computer-vision methods and enables an automated acquisition of data from the video recordings of games. The system was used to track the movements of 23 basketball players from two teams during three games of the play-offs of the Slovenian National Championship for men. It was established that during the 40 minutes of the active phase of the game the players covered a distance of 4,404 m on average and that during the passive phase, they covered an additional 1,831 meters. The players' average velocity of movement during the active phase of the game was 1.86 m/s. Although the players from one of the teams moved slightly faster and covered a greater distance, the differences between the teams in terms of the average velocity and covered distance were not statistically significant.
