Study of applied kinematical variables and the correlational performance in set shot

To purpose of the study was to correlation the selected kinematical variables with the performance of the subjects in set shot at the moment of stance and at the moment of release of ball in basketball. Sixty National level male basketball players were selected for the study. The data was obtained from two given positions (i) Moment of stance in set shot and (ii) Moment of release of ball in set shot. kinematical variables chosen in set shot were height of center of gravity of the shooter at moment stance, height of center of gravity of the shooter at moment of release of ball, angle at right ankle joint, angle at left ankle joint, angle at right knee joint, angle at left knee joint, angle of right hip joint, angle of left hip joint, angle at right shoulder joint, angle at left shoulder joint, angle at right elbow joint, angle at left elbow joint, angle at right wrist joint and angle at left wrist joint at both positions. Total ten attempts were given and the successful shots marked as score out of ten as criterion measure of performance. Four Digital Video cameras Sony 2100 series were used in order to register the technique of set shot while attempting set shot. The films were analyzed by using standard motion analyzer. With regard to purpose of the study techniques of product moment correlation was applied. The study revealed that the selected variables have no significant relationship with the performance in set shot at moment of stance. Results also found that angle at right ankle joint, angle at left ankle joint, angle at right knee joint, angle at left knee joint, angle at right shoulder joint, and angle at right wrist joint have significant relationship with the performance in set shot at moment of release.
