The Relative Power of the Shooting Arm from Stationary and Movement Conditions and Its Relationship to Shooting Accuracy in Upper-Class Wheelchair Basketball Players

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the relative power values of the throwing arm in stationary and moving conditions and to determine their relationship with shooting accuracy among elite wheelchair basketball players. The descriptive correlational method was used. The sample consisted of seven players from the Iraqi national wheelchair basketball team. Tests measuring relative arm power (stationary and dynamic) and shooting accuracy were applied. Statistical analysis included mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed a significant positive correlation between relative throwing arm power and shooting accuracy. The study concluded that improving relative arm power plays a vital role in enhancing shooting accuracy in wheelchair basketball players.
