Biomechanical analysis and optimization of jumping motion in basketball athletes

The aim of this study was to optimise the jumping performance of basketball players through biomechanical analysis and to provide targeted training strategies for athletes of different skill levels. Using a motion capture system and a force measurement platform, the study analysed the jumping movements of 200 basketball players in detail, covering key metrics such as joint angle, ground reaction force (GRF), jump height and jumping speed. The results showed that high-level athletes were significantly better than middle- and low-level athletes in terms of joint angle control, GRF and jump height. Based on the results of the analysis, a personalised training plan including strength training, jumping exercises and technique optimisation was proposed, with an emphasis on adjusting the training content according to the athletes’ feedback and progress. The study concluded that scientific training methods can significantly improve jumping ability and reduce the risk of injury, and future research should further investigate the long-term effects and economic feasibility of training strategies.
