The ideal shooting condition of basketball has been clarified, and the ideal shoot practice machine "Noah" has been introduced at NBA and the Australian university

Due to the evolution of science and technology, athletes' training methods are drastically changing in all sports. As far as basketball is concerned, an "ideal shoot condition" that the shoot is easy to succeed by research is already known, and a dedicated training machine for constantly shooting that shot "Noah (Noah)"Has been developed and is being introduced at the strong university college in the American university league including NBA.

Mr. Alan Marty, a former professor of materials science and venture capitalist, was exploring ideal shoots in 2001 to teach basketball to the daughter who was a junior high school student at the time. Mr. Marty lived in California's Silicon Valley, and as a result of seeking help from robotics engineering and rocket engineering experts, the project "Noah" to explore ideal shooting conditions in basketball started.

Initially, the sensor for analyzing the shoot was attached to the speaker inside the basketball court, but it was full of problems, such as accurate operation only with a straight line and low accuracy with respect to left and right movements. However, a team official from Dallas Mavericks who heard the Noah project from Stanford University officials has said that he wanted to buy as soon as the machine was completed. In addition, Miami Heat pays 20,000 dollars (about 2.2 million yen at that rate) in 2004 for the prototype stage unit. This was the center of the heat at that timeShaquille O'NealIt was thought that it was to correct the bad slip free throws of.


After that, the Noah machine gathers all the shoot information by scanning the basketball more than 30 times per second with the Kinect sensor installed 13 feet (about 4 meters) above the ring (rim) It evolved into things.

Researchers thoroughly analyzed shots of players of all levels regardless of professional or amateur such as NBA, WNBA, university, high school, and so on, a big feature was found in the angle of entry of the ball into the ring. It seems that it turned out that the approaching angle to the ring is "45 degrees" the highest probability of the goal, even if it is less than that the shoot success rate is lower.


As a result of further analysis, it was also found that the shot success rate increases when the center of the ball passes through the place of 11 inches (about 28 centimeters) from the edge of the ring. I found out that it is better to aim for a little more depth than 9 inches (about 23 cm) from the edge which is the center of the ring.


In addition, it is known that the angle of the shoot and the distance from the edge of the ring differ slightly depending on the point at which the shot is struck.


By the way, I won NBA's MVP for 2 consecutive yearsStephen CurryThe average value of the shooting angle of the shoot in the 2014 season is "46 degrees." This is believed to be slightly above 45 degrees, as it is 188 cm tall and among the NBA players a small petite curry needs to shoot over the heads of the big guys.


However, basically it is the conclusion of the Noah project that it is "the ideal shoot" with the highest success rate "to aim a little deeper than the center of the ring so as to enter at an angle of 45 degrees" . However, it is very difficult to experience what kind of shoot it is when I know the ideal shoot conditions. So, the birth of the Noah project is the machine "Noah" that instantly tells me shoot information.

You can understand what machine Noah is, by watching the following movie.

Research has shown that the ideal shoot entrance angle of basketball is "45 degrees".


When the player shot at the court, the voice "45 degrees" instantly flowed.


"46 degrees" in the next shot


A machine like a black box attached to the wall on the court side is Noah. Noah is a machine that scans a shot released at the court, announces the approach angle etc. instantly and announces it by voice.


By understanding the gap with the ideal shoot with the information of Noah, the player can fine-tune how to use the body, and by repeating this revision by training, to remember the ideal shot in the body It is possible.


In addition, research has shown that the shot success rate is highest when the ball passes through 11 inches (about 28 centimeters) from the edge of the ring.


Noah can also determine how much the ball passed through the edge of the ring. With the angle, you can also experience the position of dropping the ball with practice.


Since it is possible to store log information of all shots with a special application, it can be used to think about a menu to get to know the habit of your shot and bring it closer to the ideal shoot.


According to Noah Basketball which manufactures Noah, the player who shoots the ideal shot is less than 10% in the high school student. 50% for college students and 85% for NBA.


If you use Noah, you can acquire the ideal shoot, so it has already been introduced by the university powerhouse school and the NBA team.


The ideal shoot training machine Noah has a main unit price of $ 4599 (approx. 490,000 yen), and an application data analysis program is offered for 100 dollars a month (about 10,700 yen).

The data shows that the proportion of 3-point shoot in NBA is rising year by year. It is said to be the best small forward in historyLarry BirdCurry had a phenomenal record of "402" in the 2015 - 16 year season, whereas the three-point shoot season best was "98". The degree of contribution of science and technology to achieve accurate shoot skill acquisition is said to be high.
