Throwing

Question 1

Factors affecting the range of a projectile?

Answer 1

Release Velocity
Height of release
Angle of release
Gravity

Question 2

In Basketball what angle is required to decrease chance of missing?

Answer 2

Higher angles

Question 3

Throwing for accuracy planes?

Answer 3

Darts - Vertical plane targets

Basketball - Horizontal Plane Targets

Question 4

Three things to consider when throwing for accuracy?

Answer 4

Angle of release
Height of release
Release Velocity

Question 5

What is most important variable for accuracy?

Answer 5

Angle

Question 6

Shot put relationship with release velocity?

Answer 6

Was found to have a positive relationship contributing 83% to variance

Question 7

Shot put relationship with angle of release?

Answer 7

Negative relationship accounting for 7% of variance

Question 8

Sequencing segments

Answer 8

Bigger, more proximal segments such as the pelvis should reach peak speed before smaller, more distal segments, such as the wrist

Question 9

Important of segmental movement

Answer 9

Being able to time this segmental movement in sequence is a very important element of any overarm throwing action (Morriss, 2000).

Question 10

Importance of the Pelvic-Shoulder separation

Answer 10

Allows for an increase in the impulse applied to the shot

Increases the pelvis-shoulder separation angle

Question 11

Pelvic-Shoulder separation

Answer 11

Separation angle measures trunk rotation

its magnitude affects the amount of torque possible

Question 12

Importance of sequencing

Answer 12

Sequencing the body segments optimally is necessary to transfer power from the segments to the implement (proximal to distal).

Question 13

The side-on movement in the final stages of a cricket fast bowl allows for the increase of what variable to the ball?

Answer 13

Impulse
