In this phase of the “Rakt scheme” people have still the ability to walk. Maybe not without an aid outdoor but there are an lot of possibilities to exercises. This is an very important phase because the people with dementia has an limited capacity of their brain and in this phase the possibilities of movement are still good possible. The fact that the need an aid outdoor give an border on that capacity of the brain and we must try to exercises against that border. But without overstep that border. That will have an negative effect on especially people with dementia. Let this people never fail but let them always feel that they have done well . We translate that often in : “Let them win !” This message give also to the others in their environment because that makes life easier. In this phase is often the greatest problem to get “in the Home” and accepted. In the Netherlands we use the EDOMAH approach and go with the people in an conversation in their home and ask what they want. And through this approach will the start be small but when the therapist is “one of them”, is influence can be very great. Therefore make never the mistake to change things without consulting the people living in that home/residency or nursing home. Be sure that you start with their wishes and that is often not that what you want but accepted this, later on you can give explanation and let the people see why. That ask also for an therapist who always comes by this people and created an connection with them. This is the most difficult part, but so necessary to get an base that can copy with this disease and make it possible that everyone can carry the burden so long as possible . Exercising older people must always have to components ; Aerobe to improve the cardio vascular system but also the cognition. In the literature is this –aerobe exercising- the best treatment to slow down the cognition loss with cognitive exercises. Anaerobe to hold the muscle pattern and coordination on the highest level. Dementia is an neurological disease, thus there will be loss of coordination and selectivity and it is our job to brace that so long as possible. Still there is growing evidence that an combination of aerobe and anaerobe is best way to slow down the disease with an cognitive demand.

Abstract: Technique in sport is defined as rational and efficient performance of movement aimed to resolve motoric tasks in the training and competition process. Insight into the available literature resulted in selection of 3 kinematic variables used for analysis: release angle, release velocity and release height. Consequently, aim of this research is systematic review of kinematic parameters influencing the success of performance in basketball jump shot. Throwing angle is considered to be the most important factor for success of jump shot. Increased release angle is in correlation with the height of basketball trajectory which renders it a function of increased angle of entry of the basketball. Increased angle of entry enables the maximum use of the basket ring but demands increased release velocity. It is possible to control the release velocity using the spin created by the wrist flexion. Second manner of regulation of the velocity is increased release height. Influence on the release height is, however, reduced because it is determined by the constant basket ring height, player’s height, jump height and organisation of segmented movements of body parts. Understanding the interaction of variables influencing the structure of basketball movement in duration of shot provides insight into the complexity of movement performance in basketball. It is therefore necessary to indicate these variables during trainings, which is possible under the current conditions due to the fact that the technology has advanced significantly in past few years and follow-up of the said parameters demands very little effort.
