This study investigates the relationship between physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy in female professional basketball players. The results indicate that coordination, balance, core strength, and relative average power are positively correlated with three-point shooting accuracy. The findings suggest that coaching staff should consider these capacities in player selection and training periodization.
Three-point shooting plays an important role in determining the outcomes of basketball games and could be relevant for player selection. However, there has been little research into the relationship between basketball players' physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and three-point shooting accuracy, particularly among female players. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy in female professional basketball players. Twelve female professional basketball players from the Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA) league (age: 19.04 & PLUSMN; 1.31 years, height: 181.33 & PLUSMN; 4.90 cm, playing experience: 7.83 & PLUSMN; 1.7 years) were recruited for this study. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression analysis were run to assess the relationship between physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and dynamic three-point shooting. Results showed that coordination, balance, core strength, and relative average power were positively correlated with three-point shooting accuracy (r > 0.58, p < 0.05), while no other variables showed significant correlations. The current study suggests that coaching staff should consider coordination, balance, core strength, and anaerobic capacities when selecting players as well as in their training periodization if three-point shooting accuracy is considered relevant.
