Methods: Eighteen senior players competing in the national championship (11 females and 7 males; 22.0 \u00b1 3.7 years) performed 90 shots each across three positions (left 45\u00b0, middle 90\u00b0, right 45\u00b0) and three shooting conditions (baseline, simulated gym audience noise, and simulated opposition). Jump variables were derived from force platforms, while ball kinematics were extracted using a high-speed Qualisys camera system. Results: A three-way ANOVA revealed no systematic effects of position or opposition, and only a small effect of noise on flight time (p = 0.019), which was not confirmed by the Linear Mixed Model. Comparisons between successful and missed shots indicated significantly higher flight time, jump height, and release height, and a tendency for higher release velocity in successful attempts, with no differences in release angle. Spearman correlation showed weak associations between biomechanical variables and shooting accuracy (R2 = 0.005\u20130.012). Conclusions: These findings suggest that while adaptive biomechanical changes occur under contextual constraints, their isolated impact on shot success is limited. Successful performance appears to rely more strongly on release-related parameters, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to training that integrates technical, perceptual, and psychological dimensions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk10040459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,21]],"date-time":"2025-11-21T14:17:23Z","timestamp":1763734643000},"page":"459","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Influence of Jump and Ball Release Parameters on Shooting Accuracy in Basketball Under Varying Constraints"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0334-3503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina M.","family":"Amaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, CIPER (Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Human Performance), Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Coimbra, CEMMPRE (Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes), 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1500-355X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, CEMMPRE (Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes), 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences, CiTechCare, CDRSP, Polytechnic University 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":"Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Coimbra Education School, 3030-329 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"SPRINT Sport Physical Activity and Health Research & Innovation Center, 3030-329 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7479-6924","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah","family":"Rice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Performance, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Sognsveien 220, 0863 Oslo, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2885-7666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beatriz B.","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, CIPER (Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Human Performance), Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Coimbra, CEMMPRE (Centre for Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Processes), 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"190","DOI":"10.1080\/14763141.2015.1052541","article-title":"A review on the basketball jump shot","volume":"14","author":"Okazaki","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sports Biomech."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1029","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0b013e3181a07a27","article-title":"Impact of fatigue on the position of the release arm and shoulder girdle over a longer shooting distance for an elite basketball player","volume":"23","author":"Erculj","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
