  • Title: Exploring the mechanism of skilled overarm throwing.
    Author: Hirashima M, Ohtsuki T.
    Journal: Exerc Sport Sci Rev; 2008 Oct; 36(4):205-11. PubMed ID: 18815490.
    Abstract:
    Although the kinematics and dynamics of overarm throws, such as baseball pitching, have been studied extensively, the relations between these measures remain largely unknown. This review uses a three-dimensional analysis to characterize the mechanical basis of skilled overarm throws by focusing on how each joint angular acceleration is produced by the muscle torques, gravity torques, and velocity-dependent torques.
