Throwing biomechanics
Throwing biomechanics refers to how the body moves when we throw an object. It involves understanding how muscles, joints, and bones work together to generate force and control motion. The process typically begins with the legs and hips providing power, which is transferred through the torso and shoulders, and finally released by the arm and hand to propel the object. Efficient throwing relies on proper sequencing, timing, and coordination to maximize speed and accuracy while minimizing injury risk. Studying these mechanics helps improve performance and develop training methods to enhance strength and technique.
