Abstract
Effect of binocular depth perception upon throwing accuracy of male basketball players was assessed in the present study.100 male intercollegiate basketball players (Ave. age = 21.62 yrs.) were selected as sample for the present study. To assess throwing accuracy of selected male basketball players, Johnson Basketball Throw for Accuracy (Passing Test) was used. Depth perception of the selected subjects was recorded by a specially designed depth perception apparatus. Results reveal that throwing accuracy of male basketball players exhibiting superior binocular depth perception was found to be significantly better as compared to throwing or passing accuracy of male basketball players with average and inferior binocular depth perception. It was concluded that binocular depth perception affect throwing accuracy of male basketball players.
