摘要:The goal of this study was to analyze whether participants can attain more free-throw accuracy and success by modifying basketball weight. The participants were 54 children (age: mean=10.63, SD=0.55 years) from six basketball teams. We established three situations in which the participants played four games with each of the following balls: (a) regulation ball (485 g, 69-71 cm), (b) a lighter ball (440 g, 69-71 cm), and (c) a heavier ball (540 g, 69-71 cm). The procedures that were followed were: (a) defining the variables, (b) instructing the observers and obtaining reliability, (c) monitoring the properties of the ball and filming the games, and (d) recording the data from the observation. The results revealed statistically significant differences for free-throw accuracy (χ2=1.76, df=2, p=.050) and success (χ2=5.69, df=2, p=.048). Free-throw accuracy and success were higher with the 440-g ball than with the 540-g ball.
