“…The players with a longer medicine ball toss had a better three point shooting accuracy during the season as well. This is to some extent in accordance with the results of Tang and Shung (2005) who reported a significant correlation between long distance (6.75m) shooting accuracy and elbow extensor isokinetic strength. In addition, Justin, Strojnik, and Šarabon (2006) reported that training for maximum strength of the elbow extensors improved the accuracy of three-point shooting.…”

“…Unfortunately, to our knowledge there are very few studies which have looked into the relationship between basketball shooting accuracy and other physical fitness components. One such study, however, was done by Tang and Shung (2005) who reported the importance of the elbow extensor isokinetic strength in long distance shooting accuracy. Also, there are a lack of studies that have investigated the relationship between basketball players' physical fitness and their shooting accuracy in competitive conditions, as well as the relationship between basketball shooting skill tests and competitive accuracy.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among physical fitness of professional Bosnian basketball players (n = 38) and shooting accuracy during one basketball season. A related, secondary aim was to examine relationships between basketball shooting assessments and competitive shooting accuracy during game play. Physical fitness components included: muscular endurance and aerobic endurance, lower and upper-body power, speed, agility, anaerobic capacity and anaerobic power. The specific basketball shooting accuracy was assessed by stationary and dynamic shooting assessments. Competitive shooting accuracy was represented by data collected during one basketball season for each player (free throw, field goal, and three-point %). Results of the regression analyses showed that there were significant positive relationships among shooting assessments and competitive shooting accuracy during game play. The relationship was stronger when the dynamic shooting tests were applied compared to the stationary tests. However, few or weak relationships existed among physical fitness components and competitive shooting accuracy. Only the power tests showed to be good predictors for shooting over longer distances. The findings support the inclusion of the dynamic basketball shooting accuracy tests in regular basketball assessment procedures as a valuable testing instrument.

“…The reason for this is supposedly a higher ball release point of male players, which is due to the fact that men are taller than women (Škof, 2007). The angular velocities also depend on the upper extremity strength of basketball players, which influences both the technique and accuracy of the throw (Justin, Strojnik, & Šarabon, 2006;Kauranen, Siira, & Vanharanta, 1998;Tang & Shung, 2005;Woolstenhulme, Bailey, & Allsen, 2004).…”

The aim of our research was to describe the joint angular velocities of young basketball players (U16) during their performance of jump shots and to find out what is the effect of increasing shooting range on these velocities. Our sample included 14 players that performing the function of guards. Their average age (±SD) was 15.43±0.51 years. The analysis contemplated 370 field goals, which were performed from three different distances (3.75 m, 5.25 m and 6.75 m) perpendicular to the hoop board. The measurements were performed using an Xsens MVN inertial suit. The results showed that the maximum angular velocity in the shoulder and elbow joint became greater with the increase of shooting range. In the throw from the shortest distance, the segments were integrated into the movement of the shooting arm according to the proximaldistal principle. The temporal sequences of maxima velocities in legs were preserved in throws from all the three distances. The findings are important for young basketball players and their coaches. They have to be aware of the needed adjustments to the techniques of throws from various ranges and they must take them into account when practicing.

“…A similar issue applies to basketball and, especially, to shots at the basket. The positive effect of strength on shooting accuracy has been corroborated by many authors (Sklerynk and Bedingfield, 1985; Sherwood et al, 1988; Tang and Shung, 2005; Justin et al, 2006). …”

“…The shooting technique differs according to the distance from the basket and depends, to some extent, on the player’s body height and playing position. When shooting at the basket from a distance, a jump shot with a two-leg take off is usually used, generating about 41% of all points in a match (Baloncesto, 1997, in Tang and Shung, 2005). Shots under the basket include different shots with a one-leg take-off.…”

Our study examined whether the introduction of a smaller and lighter basketball (no. 6) affected the accuracy of female basketball players’ shots at the basket. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) introduced a size 6 ball in the 2004/2005 season to improve the efficiency and accuracy of technical elements, primarily shots at the basket. The sample for this study included 573 European female basketball players who were members of national teams that had qualified for the senior women’s European championships in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007. A size 7 (larger and heavier) basketball was used by 286 players in 1,870 matches, and a size 6 basketball was used by 287 players in 1,966 matches. The players were categorised into three playing positions: guards, forwards and centres. The results revealed that statistically significant changes by year occurred only in terms of the percentage of successful free throws. With the size 6 basketball, this percentage decreased. Statistically significant differences between the playing positions were observed in terms of the percentage of field goals worth three points (between guards and forwards) and two points (between guards and centres). The results show that the introduction of the size 6 basketball did not lead to improvement in shooting accuracy (the opposite was found for free throws), although the number of three-point shots increased.
