“…Proprioception also has a crucial role in balance control, and ankle proprioception is the most important aspect of balance (13). Because of the efficiency of the proprioception system, basketball players may organize compensatory behaviors with the joints of their upper limbs, which are used for shooting (35). Because of the lack of relationships between jump accuracy to specific heights (percentage and total errors methods) and maximum take-off force, this variable cannot be used to evaluate the efficiency of the proprioception system.…”

Artur, S, Bogdan, P, Kawczyński, A, Winiarski, S, Grzegorz, J, and Andrzej, R. Manifestations of proprioception during vertical jumps to specific heights. J Strength Cond Res 31(6): 1694–1701, 2017—Jumping and proprioception are important abilities in many sports. The efficiency of the proprioceptive system is indirectly related to jumps performed at specified heights. Therefore, this study recorded the ability of young athletes who play team sports to jump to a specific height compared with their maximum ability. A total of 154 male (age: 14.8 ± 0.9 years, body height: 181.8 ± 8.9 cm, body weight: 69.8 ± 11.8 kg, training experience: 3.8 ± 1.7 years) and 151 female (age: 14.1 ± 0.8 years, body height: 170.5 ± 6.5 cm, body weight: 60.3 ± 9.4 kg, training experience: 3.7 ± 1.4 years) team games players were recruited for this study. Each participant performed 2 countermovement jumps with arm swing to 25, 50, 75, and 100% of the maximum height. Measurements were performed using a force plate. Jump height and its accuracy with respect to a specified height were calculated. The results revealed no significant differences in jump height and its accuracy to the specified heights between the groups (stratified by age, sex, and sport). Individuals with a higher jumping accuracy also exhibited greater maximum jump heights. Jumps to 25% of the maximum height were approximately 2 times higher than the target height. The decreased jump accuracy to a specific height when attempting to jump to lower heights should be reduced with training, particularly among athletes who play team sports. These findings provide useful information regarding the proprioceptive system for team sport coaches and may shape guidelines for training routines by working with submaximal loads.

“…Among these techniques, quite eye, focusing attention, pre-performance routines, verbal feedback and modelling have been highlighted [9]. In addition, proprioception has been indicated to play a key role in FT [10]. On the other hand, less information is available about the effect of exercise intensity on FT accuracy.…”

Purpose Free throws (FT) accuracy is a major determinant of performance in basketball game. However, the effect of exercise intensities on FT accuracy has not been well studied. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of different exercise intensities on FT accuracy in young male basketball players. Methods For this aim, 22 basketball players (age 16.12 ± 1.16 years, body mass 76.4 ± 13.3 kg and height 186.4 ± 8.9 cm), classified into 2 age groups (younger 15.28 ± 0.48 years, n = 11; older 16.97 ± 1.00 years, n = 11). The participants performed 50 FT under five conditions (i.e. 10 FT per condition): after rest (A), after 3 min shuttle running with *9 km h -1 (B), *9.5 km h -1 (C), *10 km h -1 (D) and *10.5 km h -1 (E). Results The analysis of variance showed a main effect of exercise intensity on FT accuracy (p = 0.003, g 2 = 0.585), heart rate (HR) (p \ 0.001, g 2 = 0.990) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) (p \ 0.001, g 2 = 0.703): (a) FT accuracy in the C and D conditions was higher than the A condition (p B 0.004); (b) all conditions differed for HR (p B 0.047), the higher was the exercise intensity the higher was the HR, whereas no difference was revealed between D and E conditions; (c) the same trend as in the HR was observed in RPE (i.e. the higher the exercise intensity, the higher the RPE), too, where all conditions differed (p B 0.047), except between C and D, and between D and E conditions. Conclusions There was a significant exercise intensity 9 age interaction for RPE (p = 0.011, g 2 = 0.516), but not for FT accuracy (p = 0.336, g 2 = 0.224) or HR (p = 0.128, g 2 = 0.329). The findings of the present study showed that a minimum of exercise intensity was necessary to achieve peak FT performance and a shape of inverse U was suggested for the relationship between FT accuracy and exercise intensity.

“…The role of proprioceptive training is highlighted in a series of studies conducted in different sports. In a study conducted on basketball players, Sevreza & Bourdin (2015) have found that success in free throws is, at least partly determined by the capacity of players to feel the position of the distal joints based on the proprioceptive impulses related to the wrist.…”

With an important role in normal human performance, proprioception also has a significant impact on the performances of the sports activity. The current trend in modern handball is increasingly resorting to training methods that use proprioceptive structures in the handball players' preparation. The purpose of this study was the elaboration and experimental implementation of a training program comprising means of a proprioceptive character, oriented in order to optimize the preparation of the handball players' in view of of maximally using their performance capacity. The hypothesis of this study is that by using the means of a proprioceptive nature we can find the proprioceptive correlation between the results of tests applied and the technical parameters of the offensive game of handball in official games. Methods: The research involved a total of 20 junior II sportwomen, equally divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. During the experiment a training program was implemented comprising means of a proprioceptive nature and eight tests were applied. Results: Following the study conducted on the correlation between test results of control tests and parameters of the game of handball we can say that there are statistically significant correlations at a significance threshold of p <0.01, between the tests applied and certain parameters of the game, such as: Total Goals marked, goals scored from 7m, goals scored on the counter-attack, goals scored from the extreme and goals scored from 6m, which confirms the working hypothesis.
