When a basketball player makes a shot, there are several body mechanics that are used to perform that gesture.

During the launch,Importance of the jump in the execution of the release Articles the leap is an additional force that intervenes in its execution, but it requires the need for a coordinated overlap with the other forces present, which will also be communicated to the ball, and that are beyond the power transmitted by said heel, elbow extension and shoulder flexion and movement of the wrist. It is in this coordination of forces that lays one of the decisive aspects for the successful launch.

It should however remember the following:

• The shot for goal is a smooth gesture, where relaxation and balance outweighs the role of force.

• The shot for goal is a movement that must be run at speed.

At launch, more than the height of the jump, regardless of his speed and relaxation with which the player performs.

Salient features, which can be drawn when comparing a free throw and a launch in suspension

The basic structure of the gesture of release is similar in both cases. At the launch itself in suspension, there is a stage of mere translation of the arm (and ball), no change in their relative positions, which corresponds to the phase of the jump before the release. In a launch jump, forces players to act successively and continuously, almost without interruption. At the launch itself in suspension, there is a more or less prolonged interval (depending on the height of the jump) between the point of intervention of the legs and when the arm starts its action, performing the push the ball to the basket.
