On regroupe sous le vocable de ballons plafonnants les ballons basse altitude qui évoluent dans la couche limite planétaire. Ce sont des ballons pressurisés dont l'enveloppe est inextensible et étanche. Un ballon pressurisé est un ballon fermé, et gonflé de telle manière qu'à son niveau de plafonnement il existe une surpression entre le gaz qu'il contient et l'air ambiant, et ceci quelles que soient les conditions thermiques radiatives environnantes. Il est inextensible car la membrane constituant l'enveloppe est choisie parmi des matériaux plastiques ayant une faible déformabilité et une faible perméabilité au gaz de gonflage afin de réduire les pertes de gaz par diffusion. Sa membrane est, pour des raisons de poids, généralement très mince. Le ballon va donc garder un volume sensiblement constant, aussi longtemps que la surpression sera suffisante pour compenser les pertes de gaz par diffusion et les variations de pression du gaz dues aux effets thermiques. 3, record 2, French, - ballon%20%C3%A0%20volume%20constant

In international amateur play a [time] limitation applies, but for a period of 30 seconds [a team must make a try for a basket within 30 seconds after gaining possession of the ball]. U.S. [United States] colleges and high schools, however, have resisted this attempt to prevent freezing the ball and have no such time limit on shooting. The freezing tactic is most often used by a team having a narrow lead with only a few minutes left in the game. 3, record 3, English, - freeze%20the%20ball
