The relevance of the subject – the relation between the accuracy of free-throw shooting and emotional state of basketball players has not received sufficient scientific attention. The effect of emotional state (inner state, feelings, moods) on the accuracy of free-throw shooting has not been established. The object of the research – the accuracy of free-throw shooting, emotional states. The problem of the research – the relation between the accuracy of free-throw shooting and emotional state. The aim – to establish the relation between the accuracy of free-throw shooting and emotional state. The objectives: 1. To identify the alternation of the psychological factors (emotional state and level of concentration) during physical strain. 2. To establish the relation between the accuracy of free-throw shooting and psychological factors. 3. To assess the effect of physical and mental fatigue on movement coordination. The hypothesis – it is presumable that the relation between free-throw shooting and emotional state exists. The conclusions: 1. Psychological factors of basketball players varied with physical load. The mood and the inner state of the players substantially worsened after dealing with physical load. Moreover, a considerable decrease of activity was noticed, but the concentration of attention remained stable. However, the strain induced by physical load increased noticeably.

It was found that physical and mental fatigue influenced considerable changes of certain kinematic features of free-throw shooting which are as follows: the initial ball launch velocity in the x-axis between a successful shot after the physical load and an unsuccessful shot after the physical load; the initial launch velocity in the y-axis between an unsuccessful shot before the physical load and a successful shot after the physical load; the elbow angle at the moment of launching between a successful shot before the physical load and an unsuccessful shot after the physical load; the wrist angle at the moment of launching between an unsuccessful shot before the physical load and a successful shot after the physical load; and the main stage of free-throw shooting between a successful shot before the physical load and a successful shot after the physical load.
