Abstract

The study, which was anchored to Galileo Galilei’s projectile motion and Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, aimed to improve the performance of basketball players in terms of free-throw shooting through exact body positioning and the most preferred angle according to their height. The ability of the player to shoot, specifically free throws, can determine the outcome of the game. Shooting involves different factors, specifically the position of the body and the angle of the ball before it is released. To prove this position, the researchers conducted an experiment with five (5) selected basketball players who were chosen based on the inclusion criteria. The participants made 10 consecutive free throws at different body positions and angles in three (3) trials. Scoring was done by counting the successful free throws. Results revealed that the average number of free-throw basketball players’ score at an angle range of  41º-45º was 5.40; at an angle range of 46º-50º was 5.07; and at an angle range of 51º-55º was 5.80. The average number of free throws a basketball player score at different angle ranges according to their height was also revealed. Difference analysis in the number of free throws the participant can score at different angle ranges and heights revealed a non-significant result. Overall result showed that every player maintains consistency in every aspect and is unique in terms of their ability to throw the ball in any direction.
