Mechanical analysis of basketball shooting: A review study
Author(s): Dr. Parvez Shamim
Abstract:Basketball shooting, particularly the jump shot, plays a pivotal role in determining the success of players and teams at all levels of the sport. This paper delves into the mechanical analysis of basketball shooting, with a focus on kinematic and kinetic factors that influence shooting performance. The study explores the importance of body alignment, segmental coordination, force generation, and energy transfer in executing effective shots. Additionally, it examines how players adapt their shooting mechanics in response to external conditions such as defensive pressure and varying game situations. Various shooting techniques, including the set shot, jump shot, and hook shot, are analysed for their unique mechanical requirements. The implications of these findings for training and performance enhancement are also discussed, highlighting the significance of tailored training programs that emphasize proper form, muscle coordination, and mental resilience. This comprehensive review integrates past research to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanical principles underlying successful basketball shooting, offering valuable insights for players and coaches aiming to optimize performance.
