Some primates, including chimpanzees, throw objects occasionally,, but only humans
regularly throw projectiles with high speed and accuracy. Darwin noted that the unique …

The biomechanics of the rotational shot put is used to direct coaching to enhance throwing
performance. Maximising shot put distance and velocity at the point of release through …

The proximal-to-distal sequence is a phenomenon that can be observed in a large variety of
motions of the upper limbs in both humans and other mammals. The mechanisms behind …

In volleyball, the overhead pass is an important skill for passing a ball and making a set to
attackers. In the present study, we analysed the overhead pass motion and involved muscle …

The purpose of the investigation was to identify the phases of movement for the traditional
and spin goalball throw and determine the correlation between ball velocity and time in each …

The purpose of the study was to analyze the variability of performance and kinematics of
different shot put techniques in elite athletes (group A: 5 athletes using the rotational …

A biomechanical analysis of sports performance provides an objective method of
determining performance of a particular sporting technique. In particular, it aims to add to the …

Background: To understand the technical differences between shot putters of different ages,
this study compared biomechanical parameters of the best senior and youth Italian athletes …

The aims of this study were to (1) propose a method for evaluating shot-putters mechanical
power,(2) investigate the relationship between mechanical work of hand action force (W …

Objective. The aim of this study was to analyse the trend in the use of rotational vs. glide shot-
put techniques in World Championships in the last two decades and their association with …
