biomechanics of throwing

The biomechanics of throwing involve a coordinated sequence of movements: starting with the legs generating power, transferring energy through the hips and torso via rotation, then moving into the shoulder and arm muscles, culminating in the wrist’s final motion. This kinetic chain allows for maximum force transfer to the ball, increasing velocity and accuracy. Proper positioning and timing of each segment optimize power and reduce injury risk. Efficient throwing relies on strength, flexibility, and timing, ensuring smooth coordination from lower body to upper limb for effective and safe performance.
