The Perfect Shot Week 7

This week was focused on filling the gaps in our research and data and adding to the data sets to further our team towards a functional scalable basketball hoop to various age groups.

The data above comes from multiple sources and compiled into one chart. The data was derived from sizing charts used in mitten and glove making. Data collected during our testing will be added to this list.

The above is a graphical representation of the hand length and hand width to age

The above takes the average adult hand length and circumference calculates the percent difference between the the hand and ball
The data depicts the collection of hand data per age  and the recommended ball size for that age  and calculate the percent difference.
The data  shows the ratio of ball size to standard rim, the projected adjustable rim sizes are also shown so a comparrison of ball to rim ratio could be made. It is our hopes that a smaller ball coupled with bigger rim will promote proper form in the children.
The graph depicts recommended hoop height to age.
This data shows the average height of various ages and the correlated height.

The data we found in the scatter plot above falls within the ranges of height to age provided by the CDC.

 Week 1: The Mechanics of a Basketball shot Preparation Phase: Toes pointing at the hoop Dominant foot slightly ahead Knees Bent Shooting Hand behind the ball Support Hand on the side of the ball Elbows under the ball Eyes on the target Execution Phase: Extension of the legs Elbow at 90 degrees with Shooting Hand under the ball Extension of arms Release the ball prior to reaching peak height Follow through Phase: Follow through with motion and hold until ball hits the target Information derived from: http://biomechanicsbasketballjumpshot.blogspot.com/2015/06/blog-post.html Above is a Biomechanical Analysis of a person shooting a Basketball Jump Shot. The video outlines the musculoskeletal systems angles and torque required to shoot a basketball.  Other common Injuries associated with Basketball are: Patellar Tendonitis Patellofemoral Pain Osgood-Schlatter Disease Hand, finger, wrist strains Small Fractures and contusions of the Hands, phalanges, metacarpals, and carpals Concu...
