This investigation is concerned with the problem of determining the effects of three kinds of practice (mental-physical, distributive, and physical) on improving the performance of the Modified Free-Throw. In addition, this study investigates whether or not any one of the practice methods used was superior to the others.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two free throw shooting methods, the Ed Palubinskas Method (PM) and the Free Shoot Method (FSM), and their ability to improve free throw shooting accuracy. The experimental group, using the PM, and the control group, using the FSM, shot the same amount of free throws over a 13 week period. Subjects were 33 male intermediate basketball students at Brigham Young University. Subjects in both groups shot 26 free throws twice a week. Subjects were tested once every other week by shooting and recording the amount made out of nine attempts. There was no significant improvement for trials for both groups over the 13 weeks (F=1.583, p=.154). There was also no significant difference between groups (F=.445, p=.510) nor any interaction between groups (F=.642, p=.696). There was no significant difference in free throw shooting accuracy between the PM and FSM for the selected groups.

This project examines imagery use and its effect on basketball free throw shooting. It analyzes the literature on imagery and free throw shooting, in order to understand the actual effects that imagery has when used with free throwing shooting.

Kinematic analysis of basketball shooting is evolving, however the effects of fatigue on free throw shooting have not been studied. Therefore the effects of fatigue on the kinematics of free throw shooting among elite male basketball players was assessed. Ten healthy male collegiate basketball players participated in the study. Resting and fatigue heart rates of the participants were measured. After a 15 minute warm-up period, markers were placed on seven locations on the shooting arm&rsquo / s side upper and lower extremities. The free throw shots were recorded with two digital cameras at a speed of 60 frames/s at a stereoscopic position. Data were analyzed with the photogrammetry technique. Each participant performed free throw shots (pre-fatigue condition) until the two successful and two unsuccessful shots were collected. Then participants completed a fatigue protocol, which included sprints and squat jumping, until reaching their volitional exhaustion and free throw shots were repeated (post-fatigue condition). The elbow, trunk, knee and ankle joint angles were measured. Successful and unsuccessful shots were compared for pre- and post-fatigue conditions. The results demonstrated that fatigue did not affect free throw shooting and there was no significant joint angle difference (p&gt / .05) between successful and unsuccessful shots (p&gt / .05). It was concluded that fatigue does not affect the kinematics of free throw shooting of healthy male collegiate basketball players and there were no differences in the kinematics of selected joint angles for successful and unsuccessful free throw shots.

The qualitative and quantitative rates of the penalty free throws of men basketball teams, during the 2011 European Men Basketball Championship and 2012 Olympics. Hypothesis – the teams which have won the game, earn a significantly greater number of points form the free-throw line, than the ones who have lost the game. The aim of the research. To determine and evaluate the rates of penalty free throws of men basketball teams, during the 2011 European Men Basketball Championship and 2012 Olympics. Research objectives: 1. To determine and evaluate the points earned from the free-throw line during the games of the 2011 European Men Basketball Championship and 2012 Summer Olympics, counting free-throws of the whole game and of individual quarters; 2. To determine and evaluate the points earned from the free-throw line by men basketball teams, during tense games of the 2011 European Men Basketball Championship and 2012 Summer Olympics, which have ended by less than a 10 point difference, and also to count them by individual quarters. 3. To determine and evaluate the points earned by men basketball teams during the play-offs of the 2011 European Men Basketball Championship and 2012 Summer Olympics, and also to count them by individual quarters. Research results. During the European Championship, men basketball teams threw averagely 19,6 ± 6,4 free throws, with the accuracy of 73,5 %, while during the Summer Olympics, the number of throws was 19...

The purposes of this study were to quantify, in three dimensions (3D), kinematic parameters of the free throw shot with both the women's small ball and the large ball, and to compare the parameters of the small ball to the large ball. Nine female varsity college basketball players were filmed and the 3D data were computed with the Nonlinear Transformation method. Statistical analysis of parameters including ball trajectory and body position failed to show an effect for ball condition. Since the velocity of release was not statistically different between the two balls and the ball mass was different, the results suggest that impulse is the differing factor.

Dauguma autorių, nagrinėjusių skirtingos negalios krepšininkų žaidėjų fizinių ypatybių ir specialiųjų gebėjimų rodiklius, pabrėžė, kad sunkesnės negalios žaidėjų (1—2 balų) rodikliai blogesni negu lengvesnės. Tačiau mažai tyrimų atlikta nagrinėjant programų poveikį vežimėlių krepšinio žaidėjų fizinėms ypatybėms ir specialiesiems gebėjimams. Šiuo požiūriu aktualūs ir nauji tyrimai nagrinėjantys jėgos ugdymo programos poveikį vežimėlių krepšinio žaidėjų fizinėms ypatybėms ir specialiesiems gebėjimams. Tyrimo tikslas: nustatyti ir įvertinti jėgos ugdymo programos poveikį vežimėlių krepšinio žaidėjų specialiesiems fiziniams gebėjimams.

However little research has been done on the influence of the programs dedicated to wheelchair basketball players’ physical characteristics and special abilities. In this case, new research on the influence of strength training program on wheelchair basketball players’ physical characteristics and special abilities is a matter of great relevance. Aim of the study: 1. Measure and evaluate the influence of strength training program on wheelchair basketball players’ physical characteristics. 2. Measure and evaluate the influence of strength training on wheelchair basketball players’ velocity and agility. 3. Measure and evaluate the influence of strength training on wheelchair basketball players’ aerobic and anaerobic endurance. 4. Measure and evaluate the influence of strength training on wheelchair basketball players’ aim to shoot and ball-passing accuracy special abilities. Volunteers participated in two-week ordinary program camp and two week strength training program camp, both held at Paraplegic Association Landscape Therapy and Recreation Centre in Monciskes in 2009. Special physical abilities tests were performed on 54 wheelchair basketball players. Based on... [to full text]
