Muscle activation time and free-throw effectiveness in basketball

Optimal release conditions for a free throw in basketball

Optimal release conditions for the free throw in men's basketball.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum release conditions for the free throw in men's basketball. The study used hundreds of thousands of three-dimensional simulations of basketball trajectories. Five release variables were studied: release height, release speed, launch angle, side angle, and back spin. The free throw shooter was assumed to shoot at 70% and to release the ball 2...

Effect generic and non-generic feedback on Motor Learning basketball free throw in Children

Non-generic feedback refers to a specific event and that task performance is the reason to the acquisition of skills and implies that performance is malleable, while generic feedback implies that task performance reflects an inherent ability. The Goal of this study was to determine the generic and non-generic feedback effects on children’s motor learning basketball free throw. This research was...

Supporting Free Throw Situations of Basketball Players with Augmented Reality

This article presents our system for supporting basketball players with enhanced training information using augmented reality. A calibrated head mounted display guaranties the precise overlay of real environment and virtual objects. Visual information of the ideal and actual parabola and their deviation can be displayed. The setup is limited momentarily on free throw situations.

A Virtual Reality Simulator for Basketball Free-Throw Skills Development

Basketball has grown into an international sport played and watched by millions of people. This paper describes the implementation of a virtual basketball accelerator. The main purpose of our study was to devise an application that could literary help players in practicing a free throw game indoors. In the development of this project we used Matlab, XVR and 3ds Max. The Matlab trajectory is sim...
