El deporte se ha consolidado como uno de los contenidos curriculares básicos en la formación de los egresados en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, tal y como queda reflejado en los nuevos planes de estudio de esta titulación tras su adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Igualmente, en España se mantiene como uno de los contenidos curriculares que los estudiantes de secundaria y primaria deben desarrollar en sus clases de educación física. Los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que se realizan en las universidades para desarrollar esta materia del plan de estudios deben tener en cuenta los contenidos que se han ido adquiriendo sobre la base de la experiencia práctica y el desarrollo profesional, así como los conocimientos que se obtienen a partir de las investigaciones aplicadas que tienen por objeto de estudio este deporte o la práctica deportiva en general. El equilibrio en la formación de los especialistas en Baloncesto entre estas dos grandes fuentes de conocimiento permitirá una evolución y mejora en la propia práctica deportiva.
