Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the kinematics of basketball shooting, including shooting distance, shooting line, angle of release, initial horizontal velocity, and initial velocity of the basketball. The sample consisted of 12 male basketball players aged between 19 and 21 years. The data were analyzed by using the Kenova program, and the relationships between variables were analyzed by using Pearson's correlation statistic. The research examined three shooting distances of 2.5, 4.5, and 6.5 meters, as well as seven shooting angles of 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 135, and 150 degrees, resulting in a total of 21 shooting positions. The results showed that shooting distance had the most effect on both scoring accuracy and shooting frequency, with 2.5 meters identified as the most accurate shooting distance for basketball players. The analysis of the relationships between scores, shooting frequency, initial horizontal velocity, and initial velocity of the basketball revealed significant correlations with shooting distance for basketball players, with a statistical significance level of 0.01. Additionally, the angle of release was significantly related to shooting distance, with a statistical significance level of 0.05. However, the analysis found no relationship between scores, shooting frequency, initial horizontal velocity, and initial velocity of the basketball with the shooting angle for basketball players. Further, the angle of release showed no significant relationship with the shooting angle for basketball players. Therefore, the findings indicate that shooting distance plays a significant role in shooting performance. The release angle and ball velocity are also key kinematic factors associated with shooting accuracy. These variables can be systematically applied to optimize training strategies and improve shooting outcomes for basketball players.
