Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinematic parameters of the body for the preparation phase of the free throw to improve the efficiency and sport performances. The study includes a total twenty elite basketball players from the Kosovo Super League teams: K.B. Prishtina, K.B. Kerasani and K.B. Lipljan. Basketball shooting measurements were conducted during the training of the 2018 year. Filming of the basketball shooting techniques is done with three Canon HD cameras, set at 90-degree angles, which can reproduce sixty pictures per second. 12 variables of kinematic parameters of body were selected for analysis. Only one successful shot from each player was taken for analysis. Analysis is done with Kinematic Analysis System (APAS), outputting the required results and values of the kinematic indicators. The data collected were processed by statistical analysis software
Highlights
Basketball is the second most popular international sport in the world [1,2,3], claimed that basketball involves more than 450 million licensed basketball players registered from 200 different countries
The aim of this research was the kinematic analysis of the free-throw in basketball, which is very often used in the game of basketball, to improve the technical efficiency and sport performances; and to adapt and individualize the training programs
Proper application of the kinematic parameters of the body, when shooting from different distances has the effect of successfully finalizing the shots in the basket
Summary
Basketball is the second most popular international sport in the world [1,2,3], claimed that basketball involves more than 450 million licensed basketball players registered from 200 different countries. Free throws in the sport of basketball, for the most part of the match, is the most important component in determining the outcome and winning the match [4,5,6]. Free throw shooting is a combination of co-ordination, accuracy and sub-maximal velocity [7,8]. In basketball studies biomechanical research has focused on various aspects including basic shooting techniques [20,21]. Throwing accuracy is the application of precise kinematic characteristics, degree of force and rhythmic quality, regardless of the distance and position of the hoop [22,23]. Evaluation of key kinematic indicators in quality basketball players gives accurate information on technical level and technical improvement possibilities. A proper shooting pattern plays a very important role, according to the authors [24]
