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 ...

Background. Archery is a precision sport that requires high levels of consistency and reproducibility in the shooting movement to achieve the highest score. Objectives. This study aimed to compare and correlate the shooting time characteristics and shooting posture on the archery shooting performance of high- and low-performance archers. Methods. Terengganu state team and Malaysia Pahang Spor...

The present study investigated the neural responses to errors in a shooting game - and how these neural responses may relate to behavioral performance - by examining the ERP components related to error detection (error-related negativity; ERN) and error awareness (error-related positivity; Pe). The participants completed a Shooter go/no-go task, which required them to shoot at armed targets usi...

In the present study, field goal shooting skills of female basketball players were assessed in the background to their reasoning ability. The sample consists of 100 female intercollegiate basketball players (age = 21.05±1.67 yrs.). Shooting skills reasoning ability were assessed by Johnson’s “Basketball Field Goal Speed Shooting Test” and Mixed Type Group Test of Intelligence prepared by Mehr...

In this paper we discuss a methodology for comparing various ray shooting algorithms through a set of experiments performed on a set of scenes. We develop a computational model for ray shooting algorithms, which allows us to map any particular ray shooting algorithm to the computational model. Further, we develop a performance model for ray shooting algorithms, which establishes the corresponde...

The centrifugal shooting type polishing machine is a recently developed apparatus that seeks to improve the efficiency and environment of polishing removable prostheses. In an attempt to optimize the effectiveness of this apparatus, this study examined the influence of the shooting angle of polishing particle on the surface roughness of cobalt-chromium alloy casting specimens. Polishing was per...

In the present investigation, shooting methods are described for numerically solving nonlinear stochastic boundary-value problems. These stochastic shooting methods are analogous to standard shooting methods for numerical solution of ordinary deterministic boundary-value problems. It is shown that the shooting methods provide accurate approximations. An error analysis is performed and computati...

This paper presents a novel shooting algorithm for solving two-point boundary value problems (BVPs) for differential equations of one independent variable. This algorithm includes the following steps: First, a shooting step is performed, in which a guess for the initial condition is made and a forward numerical integration of the differential equation is performed so that an Initial Value Probl...

We show that nonlinear Liouville theorems does not hold in general for indefinite problems on half spaces. Thus, in order to use blow-up method to obtain a priori estimates of indefinite elliptic equations, one has to impose assumptions on the nodal set of nonlinearity. The counter example is constructed by shooting method in one-dimensional case and then extended to higher dimensions.
