The Effect of Proposed Device on Controlling Shooting Arm Motion’s For Youth Basketball Players

Abstract

Background .The research problem determined by youth basketball players’ ,of basketball school in Babylon,  jump shot performance that they had a problem in  controlling the elbow direction  of their shooting arm motions that causes inaccuracy in performing the skill.  Objective. Set up an aid device trying to control the shooting arm motion in jump shot and adjust elbow direction and identifying the effect of using these devices on improving  the accuracy of jump and shoot (free throw) for basketball youth players. Method . the experimental approach in the design two equal groups was followed  for its suitability to the research type. Selecting the research sample is one of the basic aspects that researchers must take into account, The study carried out on the players of basketball school \ Babylon. Their total number (12) divided into two equal groups, control  (followed the curriculum prepared by the coach without using the aid device) and experimental group (followed the curriculum prepared by the coach and the proposed aid device for improving the accuracy of jump shot “free throw “) ,  6 players for each The training curriculum continued  for (5 weeks) from 3/9/2018 to 8/10/2018,   (4) units per week, thus the total number of training units were (20) training units, the unit time was (90) minutes, the practical side time was (50) minutes. And the time of experimental group players who used aid device was (30) minutes. .The researchers used a number of aid devices and tools in this study (Arabic references, Internet, observation and experimentation , Basketball court and (Molten 6) Basketballs)  as well as using appropriate tests to measure the discussed skills, they  adopted the curriculum prepared by the coach  then  they used the proposed method within the application side of the training unit .The training curriculum started from 2/8/2018 to 5/4/2019, (4) training units per week  at Martyr Hamza Nuri  Sport Hall\ Babylon Results. After completing the experiment, the researchers used appropriate statistical means (2:178) (Arithmetic mean, Standard deviation, Independent Samples T test, Paired sample t-test and  Percentage of increase) to extract the results and then recorded it  in tables. Conclusions. The method has a positive effect in increasing the accuracy of jump shot for basketball youth players. And there is a noticeable rate of skill development.
