  1. 3. all movements that are leading up to the moment before releasing the ball in a jump shot
  2. 5. the main joint action used to create back spin on the ball when shooting is
  3. 6. a principle in biomechanics that is applied to generate force into an object
  4. 8. this needs to run through the shooter's centre of gravity to the middle of the base of support before taking off for the jump shot
  5. 9. should you release the ball at the peak of your jump when shooting the ball
  6. 10. the basketball will remain at rest unless the shooter's muscles are used to release the ball towards the hoop
  7. 11. the joint action your shoulders should be at the execution phase of the jump shot
  8. 12. the joint action that the shooter should be in as they land in the follow through phase of the jump shot
  9. 14. at the take off moment in the preparation phase, your torso is leaning slightly forward, what part of the body compensates for this to remain balanced at this point
Down
  1. 1. your angle of release will do this if you release the ball at the peak of your jump
  2. 2. the shooter needs to improve this incase they get bumped when they are about to take of for the jump shot
  3. 4. the joint action that the shooting elbow should be in during the follow through phase of the jump shot
  4. 7. when you are in planter flexion during the execution phase of the jump shot, the agonist muscle for this joint action is
  5. 13. this impacts the ball when it becomes a projectile and forces it downwards
  6. 15. the agonist muscle for hip flexion when the athlete is in the preparation phase of the jump shot
