Introduction[edit | edit source]

Basketball is a popular sport with high dynamic movement. Players have to perform shots from several distances to the basket. The shooting styles of various basketball players may appear similar at first glance, but the differences are significant enough to categorize each player as possessing a distinct shooting technique[1]. The shooting biomechanics typically represent individualized movement patterns that players feel comfortable with. However, it is important to note that not all shooting techniques are considered correct. Novice players often exhibit more variability in their shooting movement patterns compared to expert players[2]. Researchers have noted individual differences in movement patterns among players[3]. These discrepancies may stem from various sources of inter-individual variation, including genetic factors, diverse physical attributes, and underlying medical conditions[3]. This is because each player possesses a unique performance mode, although certain movements have been identified as common patterns employed by all players to initiate jump shots.

Biomechanics jump shot experienced vs. new players[edit | edit source]

Experienced players who consistently execute succesful jump shots do so by effectively control their parameters and maintaining consistent kinematics[2][4]. Conversely, novice players exhibit limited joint movement freedom. Their central nervous system prioritizes control to minimize extraneous movements in the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints during the release phase of the jump shot[4]. Additionally, high skilled shooters demonstrate a smaller horizontal shift in their center of gravity compared to less skilles shooters[3]. New players struggle to synchronize maximum joint angular velocity with the moment of ball release, resulting in lower throwing accuracy and height, increased displacement of the center of gravity towards the basket, and a greater trunk inclination[4]. These caracteristics distinguish new players from experienced ones in terms of shooting performance[5].
