Identification of the relationship between the effectiveness of free throws in basketball and the specialization of students at non-core universities

Relevance. Identifying the relationship between the effectiveness of free throws in basketball and the specialization of students of a creative university is a little-studied, but relevant problem, the study of which allows us to study the relationship between the physical development of students in a creative university and the psychological characteristics of students. There are various areas of creative training in Sb-SIFT, acting and cinematography were involved in our study, as they are the most prepared, since they have additional disciplines related to physical activity in their training program, such as: Stage movement, fencing, dance. Basically, students with good physical training and even with sports categories enter these areas. In this regard, we decided to conduct this study. Basketball, as a game, involves a certain level of physical fitness, but for the successful execution of free throws, psychological skills are required: the ability to concentrate in a stressful situation, since a free throw very often affects the outcome of the game. Students of creative universities are more emotional, as they have to face constant stress on the set, in the theater, on television, etc. Determining the presence or absence of such a dependence will improve the methodology of training student basketball players, achieve better results and conduct a more accurate selection for sports teams. The purpose of the study: to identify the relationship between the effectiveness of free throws in basketball and the specific specialization of students of a creative university (on the example of St. Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television) Methods: To carry out this study, two groups of methods were used: A study of academic materials on the topic was carried out, as well as the performance of practical tests of students' sports skills and the analysis of their results in free throws. The data obtained were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics.
