Dip” Increase the Accuracy of the Jump Shot in Highly Skilled Basketball Players? Does the “Dip” Increase the Accuracy of the Jump Shot in Highly Skilled Basketball Players? By: Luke Penner A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management The University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright 2018 by Luke Penner I ABSTRACT The present study assessed the jump shot performance of elite high-school and university students to determine whether or not the “dip” increased shot accuracy. There remains a debate between coaches who believe “dipping” is too slow and coaches who believe “dipping” increases accuracy. A mixed design was used for the present study with high-school and university players all performing shots with and without the “dip” at four distances: 3.125m, 4.925m, 6.025m, and 6.75m. Thirty-six athletes completed the study with accuracy being measured using Hardy- Parfitt’s (1991) six-point scale. Secondary dependent variables were collected, including shot speed and shot arc. The results of the present study indicate that the “dip” led to increased accuracy of the jump shot, showing a larger effect among high school shooters, compared to university shooters. This means that the shooter must determine whether using the “dip” and increasing shot accuracy, but reducing shot speed, which was also statistically significant, will be beneficial.

  • 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.

These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).

Ibáñez 1 1 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte, Universidad de Extremadura, 10071 Cáceres, Spain; [email protected] (J.G.-R.); [email protected] (S.J.I.) 2 Grupo GOERD, Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Extremadura, 06071 Badajoz, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 January 2020; Accepted: 18 February 2020; Published: 21 February 2020 Abstract: Current trends in the analysis of the physical fitness of athletes are based on subjecting the athlete to requirements similar to those found in competition. Regarding physical fitness, a thorough study of the capacities that affect the development of team sports in different ages and gender is required since the demands are not equivalent. The objective of this paper was to characterize the physical-physiological demands of athletes in an aerobic and anaerobic test specific to basketball players, as well as the evolution of the variables according to age and gender. The research was carried out in 149 players from different training categories (n = 103 male; n = 46 female). The athletes performed two field tests that evaluated both aerobic capacity and lactic anaerobic capacity. Each athlete was equipped with an inertial device during the tests. Sixteen variables (equal in both tests) were analyzed. Three of them evaluated technical-tactical aspects, four variables of objective internal load, six kinematic variables of objective external load (two related to distance and four related to accelerometry) and three neuromuscular variables of objective external load.

  • How to Win the Basketball Euroleague? Game Performance Determining Sports Results During 2003–2016 Matches
    Journal of Human Kinetics volume 77/2021, 287-296 DOI: 10.2478/hukin-2021-0050 287 Section III – Sports Training How to Win the Basketball Euroleague? Game Performance Determining Sports Results During 2003–2016 Matches by Kazimierz Mikołajec1, Damian Banyś1, Justyna Żurowska-Cegielska1, Marek Zawartka3, Karol Gryko2 The main aim of this study was to establish game-related statistics that determined sport results in the Basketball EuroLeague between 2003 and 2016. The study encompasses matches played by 10 teams during 13 consecutive seasons of the EuroLeague. Twenty-two offensive and defensive game related variables were registered. Calculations were performed to establish which of the variables determined performance in the Basketball EuroLeague matches within the analysed period. Based on a number of mathematical and statistical analyses, the elements of play that had the highest effect on sports success were selected. The following determinants displayed the most significant correlations with sport results in the EuroLeague within the analysed period: two-point shots made (2PT-made), two- point shot attempts (2PT-attempts), three-point shots made (3PT-made), one-point shots made (1PT-made), one-point shot attempts (1PT-attempts), assists, fouls and field goals made. The game outcome in basketball is influenced by many variables which may not always be significant in a given match. However, the continuous effort to maintain these variables at the highest possible level is advantageous over less-organised teams. Key words: game analysis; Euro League; performance indicators; regression model; optimization.
