This series in spot running under the direction of Coach Walter
Jones was done by eighteen different members of the squad daily
for ten days.

The figures for the composite fatigue curve and the composite
curve of condition are given below. In contrast to the one day’s
work in Series 8 of the A. S. T. R. P. these figures are the average
for ten days.

10. University of Pittsburgh Basketball Team

The production of a fatigue curve by flexion and extension of the
elbows is a good procedure to train and condition shooting muscles.

The figures given below demonstrate the pattern of the fatigue
curve, and give evidence of why there is more inaccurate shooting
with fatigue. Any coach can have his squad produce a fatigue curve
any day to further both his knowledge of the physiology of action
and the condition of his players.

The figures below could be plotted into an 80% fatigue curve.
There were fourteen participants and the work was done in a “rest
period” of a practice period.
