In
relation to using this information for the basketball jump shot, the netball
shot can also adapt similar techniques and biomechanics principals.
The netball shot is similar to that of the basketball shot. It requires an
equal and opposite reaction to be generated through the force of the feet
pushing into the ground in order to generate force through the kinetic chain
and onto the ball itself. It also adopts a staggered stance to maintain
balance. The trajectory of the ball must also be considered, and the flicking
of the wrist or swan neck is also applicable to propel the ball in the correct
direction of the ring. A shallow bend is also necessary, to generate force.
Although a jump is not needed, through a shallow bend it increases the force
production and potential kinetic energy. Likewise, a one handed push-like
movement shot, with one dominant and one guiding hand is also the optimal
technique. As a two handed shot would decreases consistency and accuracy which
is important in a game situation.
Note:This is a video demonstrating the optimal shooting technique in netball.
Notice the similarities to the basketball jump shot in technique.
The biomechanic principals suggested in this blog are therefore
clearly adaptable to many aspects of the netball shot.
