Relationship Between Mandibular Position, Activation of the Masticatory Musculature and Free‐Throw Accuracy in Female Basketball Players
While jaw positioning and chewing type do not impact free-throw accuracy in amateur female basketball players, the EMG activity of masticatory muscles is linked to shooting performance. This highlights the need for further research on motor behaviour of masticatory muscles in precision sports, especially for athletes using intraoral devices.
