ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of selected kinematics variables with the performance of male basketball players in free throw shot. The selected kinematic variables were Angle at wrist joint, Angle at shoulder joints, Angle at elbow joints, Angle at hip joints, Angle at knee joints, Angle at ankle joints. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship of the selected kinematics variables with the performance of subjects in Free Throw Shots. Five male basketball players of Lakshmibai National University of Physical Education, Gwalior, M.P. were selected to serve as the subjects of study. The data was collected by the help of sequential photography, anthropometrics measurement and the across of the subjects in free throw shot. The data was analyzed by using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation between selected kinematics variables with the performance of free throw shot. None of the selected variables exhibited significance relationship with the performance of free throw shot. Hence, hypothesis decided at the beginning the study is rejected.
