SOME ASPECTS OF ATTENTION AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACCURACY OF FREE THROW PERFORMANCE IN BASKETBALL

Abstract

The importance of research and study lies in identifying the correlational relationship between aspects of attention and accuracy in performing free throw shooting in basketball among players from the research sample. The research problem is highlighted by the significant role played by attention aspects in the game of basketball, as well as the shooting skill, representing the fundamental offensive skill through which a team scores points and, consequently, secures victory in the match. The research problem lies in understanding the correlational relationship between aspects of attention and the accuracy in free throw shooting among players from the research sample. The research objectives aimed to assess the performance level of individuals in the research sample in terms of the accuracy in free throw shooting in basketball and to determine the correlational relationship between some aspects of attention and the accuracy in free throw shooting among players from the research sample. The researcher utilized the descriptive approach using correlational relationships. Tests and measurements were employed to evaluate the players' performance within the research sample. Scientific bases were obtained for these tests to ensure their credibility in reaching and presenting the results obtained in the fourth chapter for discussion. One of the significant conclusions drawn by the researcher was the presence of a significant correlation between the studied aspects of attention and the accuracy in free throw shooting among players from the research sample.
