Attribution analyses as for the success rate of three-point shots:

In case of female basketball players

Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to clarify which factors on skill and physical strength could influence the success rate of two-handed three-point shots (SR) by means of a motion analysis and measurements of long throwing ability.
    The results of this study were as follows. A significant correlation were recognized between SR and the number of shots for a month (r＝0.682, p<0.01).
    Next, there had no significant correlation between the initial velocity or the angle of projection of balls, and SR. In the shots, the players with a high SR had less time from take-off to ball-release (r＝0.659, p<0.01), and performed both jumping movements and the movements increasing the angular velocity of shoulder or elbow joints synchronously.
    Moreover, another result was that the superior players had the ability to throw farther (r＝0.692, p<0.01).
