Stage 1) Starting
position.
Stage 2) The elbow starts off at 96 degrees. When the elbow
is flexed the optimal angle is 90 to 104 degrees as said by Biomechanics
factors affecting performance in netball, 1993.
Distance is also something that we should look at when
shooting, this is important because this can help increase and decrease the
accuracy of the shot. The optimal distance for shooting is between 3-5 feet
from the post as said by Elliot and Smith, 1983. The mechanics of the shooting
action may change depending on the distance they are shooting from as well as
the height of the player.
Stage 3) the angle of
release is 130 degrees and the angle of the elbow is 163 degrees.
Elliot and Smith did a study in 1983 stating that the
average angle of release in netball is said to be 59.8 degrees horizontally.
Also the release of the netball would have to be slightly above 45 degrees and
but below 70 degrees.
The release point of the ball is
always directly above the head. When this happens the trunk of the body is
straight and the head is upright facing the goal. Athletes extend their arms to
help with the release of the ball. The release height and angle is majorly
influenced by the extension of the knees,
arms and elbows as stated by Steele, 1990.
Stage 4) the height of release of the ball is 2.13m.
The height of release of the ball can be dependent on the
height of the defender that the athlete is having to face whilst shooting,
therefore this can affect the angle of release as you are having to get it
above the defender so the angle of release will be a lot higher.
