Biomechanical Analysis of the Jump Shot in Basketball Journal of Human Kinetics volume 42/2014, 73‐79 DOI: 10.2478/hukin‐2014‐0062 73 Section I – Kinesiology Biomechanical Analysis of the Jump Shot in Basketball by Artur Struzik1, Bogdan Pietraszewski1, Jerzy Zawadzki1 Basketball players usually score points during the game using the jump shot. For this reason, the jump shot is considered to be the most important element of technique in basketball and requires a high level of performance. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs during a jump shot without the ball and a countermovement jump without an arm swing. The differences between variables provide information about the potential that an athlete can utilise during a game when performing a jump shot. The study was conducted among 20 second‐league basketball players by means of a Kistler force plate and the BTS SMART system for motion analysis. The variables measured included the take‐off time, mean power, peak power, relative mean power, jump height, maximum landing force and calculated impact ratio. Surprisingly, more advantageous variables were found for the jump shot. This finding suggests a very high performance level in the jump shot in the studied group and a maximum utilisation of their motor abilities. Both types of jumps were characterised by high mean and peak power values and average heights. The high forces at landing, which result in considerable impact ratios, may have prompted the studied group to land softly. Use of the countermovement jump without an arm swing is recommended to assess and predict the progression of player’s jumping ability. Key words: basketball, jump shot, countermovement jump, power, soft landing. Introduction The main objective of each basketball Bartlett, 1996).

  • The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
    The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

  • Jump Shot Mathematics Howard Penn
    Jump Shot Mathematics Howard Penn Abstract In this paper we examine variations of standard calculus problems in the context of shooting a basketball jump shot. We believe that many students will find this more interesting than the use usual manner in which such problems are presented in textbooks. Angle of elevation 60 degrees Suppose a basketball player takes a 15 foot jump shot, releasing the ball from a height of 10 feet and an angle of elevation of 60 degrees. What is the initial speed V0 needed for the shot to go in? If we neglect air resistance, this is a typical ballistic motion problem. The equations are [1] gt 2 x(t) = V cos(q )t, y(t) = - +V sin(q )t + h . 0 2 0 0 2 For this problem we have g=32 ft/sec and q = 60 . Since the ball is released from the height of the basket, we can take h0 to be zero. The range is given by V 2 sin(2q ) d = 0 . g If we set d = 15 feet and solve for V0 we get, 15*32 V =»23.5426 ft/sec. 0 sin(120� ) Suppose that later in the game, the player takes another jump shot from the same position but, maybe because she has tired, takes the shot with an initial angle of elevation of 30 degrees. What is the initial velocity needed this time? Since the angles are complementary, the initial speed will be the same: 15*32 V =»23.5426 ft/sec. 0 sin(60� ) Figure 1 shows the path of the two shots.

  • Research Implications for the Coach and Performer
    RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COACH AND PERFORMER John M. Cooper School of HPER Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana 47405 Assisted by Sharol Laczkowski There were over three hundred references available to the authors for a review of basketball publications. Most of them were written by coaches and contained information on how to perform a given skill. A few authors did semi-research on specific aspects of basketball. Some authors of textbooks of a research nature explained in biomechanical manner how various skills were performed, including analysis of sequence pictures of many of the actions. CoaChes who wrote basketball books often had a professional writer to assist them. The contents were an exposition of their concepts, insights and systems of play. Some of these authors explained and illustrated how they believed certain fundamentals and team play should be executed. A few will be cited to illustrate: Bee, Clair: Basketball for Everyone, Ace Books, New York, 1962. This is an instructional handbook on how to execute certain individual moves.

The #1 and #9 spots should be emphasized to be ‘above the block and outside the lane’, with only shots off the glass counting. With spots #2 thru #8 the range can be varied, with a key concept being that shooters should get in a range where they are challenged but can make shots! CONCEPTS • Most drills are done with in partners, with one player as the shooter and the other player serving as the rebounder & passer. Working w/o a partner is also appropriate, more so with some drills than others, but particularly when conditioning is an emphasis. • Being a great partner is key! Rebounder-Passers needs to have a goal of getting every rebound before it hits the floor, deliver a great pass with target, touch and timing. • Rebounder-Passer needs to be a great communicate, coach and encourage! • Shooter needs to work on primary fundamentals … quick targeting, quick release, great follow through … while concentrating on the purpose of the drill (conditioning, cutting, shooting off the catch, off screens, gapping against zones, getting quality ‘rhythm’ reps, etc.). • Shooter needs to work on getting in to a great ‘catch & shoot’ position with body down and hands ready.

  • Basketball History
    Basketball History By James Gels, from the Coach’s Clipboard Basketball Playbook (http://www.coachesclipboard.net/Playbook.html), @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net (http://www.coachesclipboard.net) Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts at Springfield College. He was a Presbyterian minister (but never preached)… and a doctor (but never practiced medicine)… and an educator and physical education teacher… and a basketball coach. He was born in Almonte, Ontario of Scottish ancestry … so this great American (and now worldwide) sport was invented by a Canadian, with a Scottish accent! He was a thirty year-old assistant physical education director when he invented the game. He only played in two games! The first baskets were not peach baskets as the story often goes, but were vegetable baskets nailed to the railing of an elevated circular running track, which just happened to be about 9 or 10 feet high. Dr. James Naismith He eventually became head of the physical education department at Kansas, and designed the first golf course in Kansas. His favorite sport was fencing and he was very good at it. He invented basketball for fun, as a simple physical education activity… not something to be serious about! He said often, "Basketball is just a game to play. It doesn’t need a coach… you don’t coach basketball, you just play it." Nevertheless, he became basketball coach at Kansas in 1900, and lost his first game 48-8 to Nebraska. He coached for eight years and his won-loss record was barely .500. But he started a great Kansas tradition.
