The effects of repeated sprints on mid-range and three-point jump shot biomechanics in elite basketball players.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In basketball, fatigue is a prevalent physiological state that significantly influences shooting mechanics. This study discusses the difference of kinematic parameters of mid-range and long-range basketball players before and after the onset of fatigue, providing a comprehensive analysis of how fatigue affects shooting performance at these distances.

Methods

This study involved 12 collegiate male basketball players of at least level I athlete status. Blood lactate levels, subjective exercise fatigue scores, and heart rate variability were used as indices for assessing fatigue. Kinematic data during basketball shooting were collected by inertia motion capture system (Xsens technologies BV, The Netherlands) and a high-speed camera (Sony, Tokyo, Japan). Differences i
