| dc.description.abstract | Basketball shooting techniques require precise
coordination of joint movements, which significantly
influence shooting accuracy and efficiency. This study
employed motion capture technology to analyse and
compare biomechanical parameters in free throws, jump
shots, and lay-ups among five skilled basketball players.
Each player completed five trials per shooting technique.
The study examined the correlation between minimum knee
and elbow angles with shot success in free throws and jump
shots. Wrist angle variations were analysed to identify
distinct
biomechanical profiles for each player.
Additionally, knee angles during take-off and maximum
height reached in lay-ups were investigated to understand
their impact on shooting mechanics. In the free throw trials,
the average knee angle was 122.59 degrees with a standard
deviation of 15.98, reflecting moderate variability. The
elbow angles had an average of 79.28 degrees with a
standard deviation of 10.74, showing slightly less
variability than the knee angles. The results showed a
negative correlation between the elbow and knee angles
during free throw and a positive correlation during jump
shot. These insights could inform player training and
performance enhancement strategies. | en_US |
