Abstract

Basketball game is decided by the most point counted from successful shooting. Moreover, free throw is one of many shooting techniques which is frequently used in basketball game. So, the aims of this research are reviewing the ball trajectory direction to find the formula to increase possibility of successful shooting and decrease shooting error possibility. This is a quantitative study with independent t-test data analysis by SPSS. There are 73 male college physical education students(age : 20 ± 1.2 years) who were categorized based on their height in to 5 groups. Each of them tried to make 3 successful free throw. The result, there are significant different of ball direction, launching angle, maximum elevation, and ball velocity among different height group (µ< 0.05). In the conclusion, the launching angle and maximum elevation among different height group has different characteristic. However, the ball direction and velocity have more similarities among different height group.
