The present study evaluated success rate of basketball shooting for different skill levels. A total of 10 subjects (5 skilled and 5 unskilled) participated in this study. The main goal of the study was to provide the preliminary data for further studies in finding mechanisms of improving shooting success rate during basketball games. This larger constraint is thought to require performers to change their motion control strategy to maintain accuracy and create a tremendous urge to push the ball the moment it is released. Still, many players have difficulty adapting to longer distance shooting. The results suggested that there were main effects of group and distance, but, no interaction effect was found. In conclusion, shooting success rate were affected by distance regardless of skill levels in basketball shooting.
