The effects of repeated sprints on mid-range and three-point jump shot biomechanics in elite basketball players

Fatigue has no significant effect on the shooting percentages for mid-range jump shots among elite collegiate athletes; however, it substantially reduced the success rate of long-range jump shots. This decline in performance led to reductions in both the shooting angle and incident angle, as well as the extension of shooting time. Fatigue can compromise the effectiveness of force transfer from the lower to upper extremities. Long-distance shooting requires exceptional lower limb explosive power and precise neuromuscular synchronization.
