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.

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...

The provision of feedback is a crucial factor for the evolution of the learner's performance. It is known that the knowledge of performance has the function of guiding the learner's attention to critical aspects of the movement pattern. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of frequency of knowledge of performance (KP) during the acquisition of the basketball free throw in older...

We investigated the relationship between free-throw accuracy and performance variables among fourteen elite male wheelchair basketball players. Participants performed 20 free-throws. Basketball were phases of pre-shoot routine: (a) time taken, (b) minimum angle when taking ball back, (c) at release, (d) angular displacement during forward arm swing, (e) velocity release on elbow, shoulder, hip....

 Material Methods. A total of 22 university student, 11 whom were experts (n = 5 females, n 6 males) amateurs males), without impairment, participated the study. Each athlete performed a 10 throws. The normal distribution data recorded in both acc...

Although the effects of negative stereotypes and observer pressure on athletic performance have been well researched, the effects of positive stereotypes on performance, particularly in the presence of observers, is not known. In the current study, White males watched a video either depicting Whites basketball players as the best free throwers in the NBA (positive stereotype), Black basketball ...
