Investigation of the effect of wrist range of motion on shooting technique in professional female basketball players.

This study was conducted to examine whether there is relationship between the adult and youth teams of the Turkish Women's Basketball League buy looking at the shooting parameters of the wrist range of motion of different teams of 25 basketball players. In this direction, dorsal extension and palmar flexion of the wrists of the players were photographed laterally and directly opposite and radial deviation and ulnar deviations were photographed from a overhead view, and their angular values were determined in the Kinovea 0.8.15 package program. After the angles of the players, the AAHPERD quick shot test was applied, the total of the shots they exhibited in their leagues, the successful shots and he percentages of these two parameters were examined. The analysis of the data was done in SPSS 26.0 package program. Before and after the measurements, the fisher test, skewness and kurtosis coefficients were examined (± 3) from the descriptive statistics to see whether the groups displayed normal distribution as anthropometric (± 3), and the descriptive statistics (± 3) between the cluba and the variables showed that the groups were normally distributed. Significant results were obtained in the ANOVA test from the obtained data, Posthoc Tukey was applied for the variables that were significant. Pearson Correlation coefficient test was applied to examine the correlations of all variables according to the team. As a result of the research; It was observed that while two teams in Palmar Flexion, youth and adult team, which is one of the wrist movements among the teams, exhibited an average suitable angle, the other adult team remained in a wide angle (p <0.01). It was observed that categorical shooting percentages and those with low percentage in Ulnar Deviation have higher quality angular values with narrower angles (p <0.01). In the correlation relations of the teams, negative and positive relationships were found between wrist variables, anthropometric and shots.
