Gait Posture

Article Synopsis
- Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are crucial for controlling dynamic movements like basketball jump shots, particularly under defensive pressure from a shot blocker.
- A study involving 14 male university basketball players revealed that jump shots performed under pressure resulted in shorter APA duration but increased ground reaction force (GRF) and jump height.
- The findings indicate that defensive pressure negatively impacts jump shot performance by shortening APAs and correlating increased sway during the adjustment phase with decreased shooting accuracy.
