Abstract: Dribbling, passing, lay-ups, and shooting are among the fundamental technical skills in basketball, with shooting performance playing a decisive role in both individual player success and team strategies. High shooting efficiency directly contributes to overall team performance and competitive advantage. Although traditional training methods have evolved over time, the most significant transformation in basketball training has occurred through the integration of modern technologies. Today, a wide range of technological tools are used at both amateur and professional levels to support shooting development, objectively analyse performance, and enhance training efficiency. The purpose of this study is to examine and classify shooting technologies used in basketball training. The study was conducted using a descriptive research design. Data were collected through a review of recent academic publications, studies in the field of sports sciences, and official websites of sports technology companies. The collected data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that shooting technologies used in basketball can be classified into three main categories. Artificial intelligence and big data-based shooting analysis systems (e.g., Shoot 360, Noah Basketball) provide athlete-specific feedback by analysing shooting mechanics in detail. Shooting machines and automated training systems (e.g., Dr. Dish, The Gun) support repetition-based motor learning and improve training efficiency. Wearable shooting technologies (e.g., Smart Shot Inventor, Hoop Tracker) enable individual performance monitoring by providing real-time data on wrist movement, shooting angle, and shooting accuracy.
