- Abstract
The aims of the present study were to analyze selected kinematical parameters of free throw shooting in basketball performed during the learning process and identify which one has a greater effect on success. Fifteen FT attempts performed by 10 male college sports students were recorded with a high-speed camera (200 Hz) and analyzed using the system software SIMI-Motion. Statistical analysis showed that the knee angle helped determine success in FT shooting. Comparing various body angles effect on missed to scored baskets, only knee angles showed a significant difference with a higher value in scored baskets ( p < 0.05); more specifically only knee angle was highly correlated to the performance and to the hand velocity with p < 0.05 ( r = 0.7and −0.75, respectively). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that in an inexpert player, the knee angle is the variable in which a teacher or a coach should intervene to improve the learning outcomes (i.e., performance). However, more studies in this field using expert players are necessary to confirm these suggestions in high-level athletes.
