• Future research in the area of preshot routines and closed skills may benefit from utilizing longer observation protocols and larger samples of basketball players at various levels (i.e., high school, college, professional).

  Academic text (2004)

• Although the results did not support the hypothesis that the MRG would have a significantly higher free throw percentage than the NMRG, the athletes who maintained a preshot routine had a higher free throw percentage (74%) than those who did not maintain a preshot routine (68%).

  Academic text (2004)

• For each free throw attempted, the following information was observed and recorded: gender, player number, time in the game (first half/second half), and a physical description of the preshot routine (deemed any physical movement, pauses in movement, number of dribbles, and/or spins of the basketball).
