Correlations in Basketball Free Throw

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the existence of correlations between the speed of various components of the hand and the speed of the ball. These correlations have an important role in the configuration of a virtual simulator used to train basketball free throws. Seven skilled basketball players participated in this study. We found that the speed of the ball is correlated with the speed of different hand elements depending on the basketball players throw style.
