Especial skill in the favorite locations of experienced Basketball Players

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is exploring for especial skills in favorite locations of experienced basketball players. Eight experimented basketball players perform 210 jump shots from favorite and other six locations. A linear regression equation was used for estimating predicted performance and then the actual performance was compared with the predicted performance. The analysis showed a significant difference between performance in favorite locations and the predictions and supports the existence of especial skills. The results support the special effects for the self-selected distance of experienced basketball players. These results don't support the generalizability of generalized motor program that derive more investigate about the potential factor for the especial skills.
