Three-point shooting is a key performance indicator in basketball [42], and the increase in usage of three-point shots in modern basketball has been collectively reported by data science approaches [19]. However, there has been little research into the relationship between basketball players' physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and three-point shooting accuracy, particularly among professional female players, which is a population that, generally, has received less attention compared to their male counterparts. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between basketball players' physical capacities, metabolic capacities, and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy. The results of the current study showed that there was a significant positive correlation between coordination and balance (assessed with FMS, r = 0.632, moderate), core strength (plank support test, r = 0.584, moderate), and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy. Furthermore, anaerobic capacity (relative average power, r = 0.596, moderate) was highly correlated with dynamic three-point shooting accuracy. Differently, there were no significant correlations between three-point shooting and absolute strength (1 RM bench press and squat), agility, speed, aerobic capacity (VO\({}_{2}\) max), anaerobic peak power, relative peak power, or average power. Previous studies have reported that the FMS test can effectively evaluate coordination, body control, and flexibility [25; 43; 44]. Researchers further mentioned that lower FMS scores may lead to unbalanced muscle strength in basketball players, which can negatively affect shooting technique [45; 46]. This study found a large, positive correlation between the FMS test score and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy, indicating that better coordination and body control contributed to three-point shooting accuracy. A study by [PERSON] et al. [47] investigated the relationships between physical fitness variables and shooting performance among basketball players, which demonstrated a positive relationship between coordination and dynamic shooting performance (dynamic free throws and dynamic two-point shots). These findings are consistent with current results, which suggest that coordination is associated with improved shooting accuracy. Therefore, it appears that coordination and motor control have relevant associations with three-point shooting, an important key performance indicator in basketball. Differently, there were no correlations between dynamic three-point shooting and squat, bench press, 20 m sprint, and vertical jump. A previous study reported that as shooting distance increases, the lower extremity needs to produce more force to accelerate the ball speed, and the upper extremity must adjust the motion to maintain balanced and stable shooting, which requires good coordination [48]. This also corresponds to our finding that shooting is a technical skill depending mostly on motor control/coordination instead of pure physical capacity. To this end, this study suggests that coaching staff need to design appropriate coordination and body control training to enhance the stability and coordination of all joints and muscles. The Pearson correlation coefficient analyses showed a large, positive correlation between the plank support test and dynamic three-point shooting accuracy. Previously, [PERSON] et al. [49] showed that an 8-week core strength intervention improved free throw accuracy by 14.0% and dynamic shooting accuracy by 36.2% in collegiate male basketball players. Furthermore, [PERSON] [50] divided 40 college male basketball players into a core strength
