Biomechanics of the Jump Shot Kelvin Wang BIOL438 April 15, 2014
Technique3 Phases Preparation balance, center of mass over support Execution jump and shoot, release Follow Through landing, balance, center of mass over support over support Preparation balance, center of mass over support Execution jump and shoot, release Follow Through landing, balance, center of mass Source: The Seattle Times Preparation Execution Follow Through
TechniqueMuscles Used Hip extension hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus), gluteus maximus Fast-twitch higher vmax, higher power, more efficient at higher velocity Knee flexion/extension quadriceps muscle eccentrically contracts in preparation, during jump it concentrically contracts Slower-twitch lower vmax, more economical, recruit more motor units Gastrocnemius (fast-twitch) plays role Source: www.oxford174.com
TechniqueMuscles Used Shoulder upward rotation middle and lower trapezius muscles, rhomboids, deltoids Elbow flexion/extension eccentric contraction of triceps, then concentric to generate force Fast-twitch fibers for greater power Wrist extension/flexion add spin, velocity to ball Fast-twitch fibers Source: www.rci.rutgers.edu Source: www.endoszkop.com

Normal Jump ShotMomentum Before release, triceps extension (assume zero initial momentum): a = v/ t = 51.39 m/s2 (from LoggerPro) F = ma = (0.62 kg)(51.39 m/s2) = 31.86 N t = 0.096 s, so: J = F t = 3.06 kg-m/s At release: vx,ball = 4.40 m/s Total velocity = 7.18 m/s Assume mball = 0.62 kg, then: p = mv = (0.62 kg)(7.18 m/s) = 4.45 kg-m/s vy,ball = 5.68 m/s Thus, the triceps extension motion for shooting the ball imparts 3.06 kg-m/s impulse to the ball from preparation phase to release. Wrist flick motion gives ball extra velocity and could account for the difference in impulse momentum.
Normal Jump ShotWork and Energy Kinetic energy = 0.5mv2 At release: KE = 0.5(0.62 kg)(7.18 m/s) 2 = 15.99 J Work = Energy = 15.99 J (assume E0 = 0) From the start of triceps extension to release: Power = Work/ t = 15.99 J/0.096 s = 166.6 W
Pull-up Jump ShotMomentum Before release, triceps extension (assume zero initial momentum): a = v/ t = 139.9 m/s2 (from LoggerPro) F = ma = (0.62 kg)(139.9 m/s2) = 86.74 N t = 0.04 s, so: J = F t = 3.47 kg-m/s At release: vx,ball = 4.70 m/s Total velocity = 7.81 m/s Assume mball = 0.62 kg, then: p = mv = (0.62 kg)(7.81 m/s) = 4.84 kg-m/s vy,ball = 6.24 m/s Thus, the triceps extension motion for shooting the ball is quicker, and imparts 3.47 kg-m/s impulse to the ball from preparation phase to release. Wrist flick motion gives ball extra velocity.
Pull-up Jump ShotWork and Energy Kinetic energy = 0.5mv2 At release: KE = 0.5(0.62 kg)(7.81 m/s) 2 = 18.91 J Work = Energy = 18.91 J (assume E0 = 0) From the start of triceps extension to release: Power = Work/ t = 18.91 J/0.04 s = 472.75 W
Fadeaway Jump ShotMomentum Before release, triceps extension (assume zero initial momentum): a = v/ t = 83.2 m/s2 (from LoggerPro) F = ma = (0.62 kg)(83.2 m/s2) = 51.58 N t = 0.08 s, so: J = F t = 4.13 kg-m/s At release: vx,ball = 3.88 m/s Total velocity = 8.02 m/s Assume mball = 0.62 kg, then: p = mv = (0.62 kg)(8.02 m/s) = 4.97 kg-m/s vy,ball = 7.02 m/s Thus, the impulse from triceps extension is similar to a normal jump shot, and imparts 4.13 kg-m/s impulse (more than normal or pull-up) to the ball from preparation phase to release.
Fadeaway Jump ShotWork and Energy Kinetic energy = 0.5mv2 At release: KE = 0.5(0.62 kg)(8.02 m/s) 2 = 19.94 J Work = Energy = 19.94 J (assume E0 = 0) From the start of triceps extension to release: Power = Work/ t = 19.94 J/0.08 s = 249.25 W

Conclusions Fadeaway jump shot: more triceps used, faster twitch muscles to generate greater impulse Efficient and economical, but difficult to execute Pull-up jump shot: greater force and greater power on shot, due to running start However, relies on running start sudden stop and jump. Slower twitch muscles in leg are less economical at higher contraction speeds fatigue Normal jump shot: least energy, force, and power produced, but not as tiring
