The aim of this research was to examine whether there are significant differences in the succes rate of two-point and three-point both shooting, without and under the influences of inhibiting factors such as fatigue and psychological stress, among basketball players with various levels of shooting accuracy within a team. The experiment involved two groups of participants (advanced and average), which included 18 senior players of the Basketball Club „Student“ from Bajina Bašta, all male, aged 16 to 35 years. The players performed shooting from five characteristic positions (for both two- and three-points shoots) under three different conditions: without inhibiting factors, under fatigue, and with defending players present. The participants were divided into two subsamples based on their two- and three-point shooting percentages from the previous season. The results obtained using a Mixed between-within subject ANOVA indicated a decreasing trend in shooting percentage under the influence of inhibiting factors, with a statistically significant decline for three-point shooting (statistically significant main situation effect F=8.23, p=0.001, with important effect η²=0.34). The study highlights the need for further research with a large sample, additional situational parameters and biomechanical analysis of shooting technique under influencing factors. The results suggest an optimization of the training process by integrating situational shooting drills that include elements of fatigue and psychological stress. © 2026, Montenegrin Sports Academy.
