A Comparative Study on the Values of Some Biomechanical Variables for Free Throw in basketball

دراسة مقارنة في قيم بعض المتغيرات البايوميكانيكية لأداء الرمية الحرة بكرة السلة

Abstract

The research significance focused on biomechanical analysis of the advanced levels of free-throw performance. The research problem   is that there is a decrease in the level of free throw performance among Iraqi players to score points, which effectively affects the results of matches.

The researcher used the descriptive method. The experiment started on 15/3/2015, and it ended on 25/3/2015.  The researcher used the statistical program (spss) to present, analyze and discuss the results. The researcher chose the most important mechanical variables for free throw performance. The researcher concluded that the professional players attempted to control the variables tool (ball) by placing the ball over the head when starting scoring. The researcher recommends that coaches should pay attention to the mechanical properties when performing the free throw according to the biomechanical requirements.
