In 2010, FIBA changed some of the basketball rules. For example, the distance from the three-point line to the basket has extended from 6.25 meter to 6.75 meter. This study focused on the difference in the angle and angular acceleration of the elbow joint while shooting for an outstanding college basketball player, and we hope our results can be a useful reference for future coaching and training. In this study, we used a high-speed camera (60Hz) to take photographs during a shot, and then Kwon 3D software was used to analyze the motions. Then, SPSS was used for statistical analysis of the results. We found that the difference in the distance significantly affects the angle of the ankle joints while jumping but made no difference on other joints. Moreover, we observed that the distance also made a large difference in the angular acceleration of the shoulder, hip, and knee joints during falling (after the shot), while it only made little effects on other joints. Those points can be indicative to the future training and coaching. For further study, we recommend that it should be focus on the motions of shooting from other spots.
