Abstract

As basketball has evolved and the intensity of competition has increased, it has become essential to explore the determinants of shooting accuracy by using scientifically rigorous methodology that is consistent with the demands of the athletic event and its central role in determining the result of matches. The aim of the research was to identify the muscular capacities of the arms and legs and selected biokinematic variables in the preparatory phase of actual performance among the research sample, as well as the accuracy of set shooting and layup shooting in basketball. The descriptive method was employed on a purposively selected sample consisting of (10) third-year female students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women. The results showed that the arithmetic mean of the muscular capacity of the arms was 6.340, with a standard deviation of 0.550. The mean score for set shooting accuracy was 4.60, with a standard deviation of 1.647. The correlation coefficient was 0.550, indicating a moderate positive association between arm muscular capacity and shooting accuracy. This finding underscores the importance of physical capacity in improving basketball performance. The researchers proposed several recommendations, including: The necessity of focusing on developing the muscular strength of the arms and legs within practical basketball lessons through exercises appropriate to the level of third-year female students. Emphasizing the incorporation of simplified biomechanical analysis in teaching and training by guiding students toward correct joint positions during the performance of shooting skills.
