Abstract

A successful shot in basketball is critical to winning a game. Especially, the shot from the 3-point line both scores more points compared to other shots and draws the fans into the game more. The success of the 3-point shooting (3PS) depends on many factors, including the release height of the ball, jump height and physical characteristic. These parameters must be optimally adjusted for a successful shot. The aim of this study is to find the appropriate velocity and angles for a successful 3PS by combining the ball release parameters. For the optimization, the design parameters, and the distance of the ball to the basket were defined as input and output variables to the Adams/View Insight module, respectively. While the velocity and angle input values were taken in accordance with the literature studies, the release height of the ball was calculated depending on the height, jump height and joint angles of the player. The optimization results reveal what the appropriate angle and velocity values should be for players having different heights for a successful 3PS. It should be emphasized that this study has been put forward to bring a different interpretation to basketball with an engineering approach.

BASKETBOLDA 3-SAYILIK ŞUTUN BAŞARISI ÜZERİNE BİR OPTİMİZASYON ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Basketbolda başarılı şut maçın kazanılmasında kritik öneme sahiptir. Özellikle 3-sayı çizgisinden atılan şut, hem diğer atışlara kıyasla daha fazla sayı kazandırmakta hem de taraftarı oyunun içine daha fazla çekmektedir. 3-sayılık atışın (3PS) başarısı topun bırakılma yüksekliği, zıplama yüksekliği ve fiziksel karaktersizlik gibi faktörlere bağlıdır. Başarılı bir şut için bu parametrelerin optimum bir şekilde ayarlanması gerekir. Bu çalışmanın amacı top bırakma parametreleri kombine edilerek başarılı bir 3-sayılık atış için uygun hız ve açıların bulunmasıdır. Optimizasyon çalışması için, tasarım parametreleri ve topun çembere olan uzaklığı Adams/View Insight modülüne sırasıyla girdi ve çıktı değişkenleri olarak tanımlanmıştır. Hız ve açı girdi değer aralığı literatür çalışmalarına uygun olarak alınırken, topun bırakılma yüksekliği oyuncunun boyu, zıplama yüksekliği ve eklem açılarına bağlı olarak hesaplanmıştır. Tasarım parametrelerinin değerlerine bağlı olarak 1859 iterasyon gerçekleştirilerek sonuçlar bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar farklı boydaki oyuncuların başarılı bir 3-sayılık atış için uygun açı ve hız değerlerin ne olması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlara göre; 1.82 m, 1.86 m ve 1.92 m boya sahip oyuncular sırasıyla 40° ve 8.75 m/s, 45° ve 8.75 m/s ve 50° ve 8.5 m/s açı ve hızda topu bıraktıkları zaman, 3-sayılık şut atışı çembere girebilecektir. Şu önemle vurgulanmalıdır ki bu çalışma basketbol sporuna mühendislik yaklaşımıyla farklı bir yorum getirmek amacıyla ortaya konulmuştur.
