Therefore, basketball players need to shoot the ball accurately. This study aimed to evaluate if there are differences between shooting positions and angles concerning athlete visual behavior. Tobii Pro Glasses 3 was used to measure the number and duration of fixations in the target during shooting movement. The sample included 18 basketball players (10 female and 8 males; 22 \u00b1 3.72 years; 12.5 \u00b1 4.52 years of federated basketball practice) who performed a total of 60 shots in all shooting conditions and positions. Two distances (free throw and 3 points line) and three angles (45\u00b0, 90\u00b0, and 135\u00b0) in the 3 points shot were considered in all three shooting conditions (baseline, simulated opposition, and gym audience noise). Between distances, statistically significant differences occurred in the number and total duration of fixations and shooting accuracy. At a greater distance from the basket, the athlete tended to have less accuracy, as well as a lower number and duration of fixations. Between angles, there was no statistically significant differences, neither a tendency towards lower or higher values between them. Moreover, the shooting accuracy was better when the athlete focused for more time on the target, which occurred in the free throw condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app13052911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]],"date-time":"2023-02-24T03:37:20Z","timestamp":1677209840000},"page":"2911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effects of Different Basketball Shooting Positions and Distances on Gaze Behavior and Shooting Accuracy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0334-3503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina M.","family":"Amaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CIDAF\u2014Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity, Faculty of Sports Science and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5237-0773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana M.","family":"Amaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEMMPRE\u2014Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Coimbra, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2885-7666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beatriz B.","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEMMPRE\u2014Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes, CIDAF\u2014Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity, Faculty of Sports Science and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1500-355X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEMMPRE\u2014Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Coimbra, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences, Polytechnic of Leiria, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2433-5193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Superior School of Education, Polytechnic of Coimbra, 3030-329 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, University of Coimbra, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cabarkapa, D., Cabarkapa, D.V., Philipp, N.M., Eserhaut, D.A., Downey, G.G., and Fry, A.C.
