Physical factors play an important role in basketball free throw shooting success. This
study aims to analyze the factors associated with success when shooting from different
positions. Twenty-four college basketball players were assessed for upper extremity length,
muscle strength, vertical jump height and reaction time, and hand reaction time. Five
shooting positions (A–E) were located 4.54 m from the basket at angles of 45 around a
semicircle. Shooting success was recorded as a percentage. The relationships between
variables were analyzed with Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression
analysis was performed to determine the contributions of the assessed physical factors to
shooting success. The following factors contributed to the success rate: hand length, left
palmar grip strength and left hand reaction time from A; left palmar grip strength, left
shoulder extensor strength and vertical jump reaction time from B; left elbow extensor
strength and left hand reaction time from C; right wrist extensor strength, body mass index,
left shoulder external rotator strength, and left hand reaction time from D; and forearm
length, left elbow extensor strength, and left wrist extensor strength from E position. Left
elbow extensor strength, left hand reaction time, and vertical jump reaction time
contributed to the total free throw success rate. These results of this pilot study
demonstrated the important relationships between upper extremity extensor stren
