El acierto en el tiro libre en baloncesto: Cómo influye el minuto de partido, el estado del marcador y ser equipo local o visitante

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the released free throws in a sample of 56 basketball games category ACB. There has been the number of pitches and the percentage of hits in each minute of play. In addition, it also took into account the marker location at the time of launch and the condition of acting as the home team or visitor team. No significant differences were found between local teams and visitors teams in relation to the free throw attempts. In terms of percentages of correct answers, there is minimal difference in favor of the teams playing at home. We discuss these findings and make practical proposals for the training side of the free kick. © 2012: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia.
