Week 2 Assignment – Final Project Movement Pattern Selection
Movement Pattern: Basketball Jump Shot
Reason: I chose this as the topic for my final project because I believe the jump shot is considered to
be the most important element of technique in basketball and requires a high level of performance.
Therefore, I would like to have a more in depth understanding of the biomechanics behind the jump
shot.
Journals/Industry Leaders:
I plan to use the online library provided by APUS; Trefry Library, as well as NCBI, DOAJ, and Google
Scholar. Some of the peer reviewed articles I have found so far that will benefit me with my final
project are as follows:
“Biomechanics of the Basketball Jump Shot-Six Key Teaching Po.” Journal of physical education,
recreation & dance 64.2 (1993): 67–. Print.
