Document Preview: Jump shot: Biomechanical analysis in basketball  
Introduction  
The jump shot is considered as one of the major elements in the game of basketball. The main 
objective of the game is to score points or defend the opponent from scoring points. 
Researcher have reported that jump shot, set shot, layup or a free throw are the most common 
scoring points for basketball players. The jump shot has become a common and repetitive 
action by most players with respect to defence, release, and scoring points. Thus, it has 
become important for researchers to identify variances in angular values and angular 
velocities. 
Methods  
A total of 20 junior but well-trained basketball players were recruited for the study. A large 
biomechanical lab was used to mimic the basketball court, wherein the entire study was 
conducted. The researchers utilized the BioWare® XXXXXXXXXXsoftware to assess the 
countermovement jump and take-off phase times. The ground reaction forces were assessed 
based on BTS SMART system (BTS Bioengineering, Milan, Italy.  
Results  
The researchers reported that similar curve profiles of F(t) and P(t) values (Fig 2 and 3) were 
similar in both jump shot without the ball and countermovement jump without arm swing.  
Discussion  
 The researchers indicate that while performing jump shots, that all players had an 
improved mean power with respect to relative mean power and take-off phase combined with 
an improved take-off times and peak powers (Struzik, et al. 73-79).  
Conclusion  
 Based on the statistical evaluation, the researchers concluded that there was no 
significant difference between jump shot and CMJ without an arm swing and actual jump 
heights. Jumping performance is not reduced by the movement of upper limbs in jump shot. 
The jumping ability of players was observed to improve while performing a jump shot, 
wherein a CMJ without an arm swing is indicated (Struzik, et al. 73-79).

INTRODUCTION 
The main objective of the game is to score points or defend the opponent from scoring points. 
There have been many studies for finding the relative frequencies of the different types of the 
basketball shots. Players shoot using different techniques, the choice of which is influenced by 
several factors, such as distance, angle, player type, etc. Researcher have reported that jump 
shot, set shot, layup or a free throw are the most common scoring points for basketball players. 
The jump shot is considered as one of the major elements in the game of basketball. Jump shot 
is an attempt to score a basket by jumping, usually straight up(there are other counter intuitive 
explanation to the angled body motion during jump shot and will be discussed later), and in 
mid-jump, propelling the ball in an arc into the basket. In order to be an effective basketball 
shooter, a player must be trained in choosing the appropriate technique and executing it. One 
of the main advantages for a jump shot is quicker release and therefore a faster execution time 
much faster than other types of shots. The jump shot has become a common and repetitive 
action by most players with respect to defense, release, and scoring points. As a result, the two 
legged jump shot has become more frequent, amounting to over 70% of all the shots during a 
game (Oudejans et al., 2012). Thus, it has become important for researchers to identify 
variances in angular values and angular velocities. Previous biomechanical studies on shots 
performed by basketball players have typically measured kinematic variables, such as maximum 
angular values and angular velocities in players’ individual joints (McClay et al., 1994a), 
temporal profiles of changes in the angular values of individual joints and angular velocities 
(Kornecki and Lenart, 1997), the release angle and velocity of the ball,
