van den Tillaar, Roland; Marques, Mario - Effect of training on ball release velocity and kinematics in overarm throwing among experienced female handball players

摘要

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different training programmes upon the kinematics and ball release velocity in overarm throwing among experienced female team handball players. No significant change in ball release velocity (p=0.25) was found after the different training programmes. However, the changes that did occur in ball release velocity were probably caused by changes in the maximal internal shoulder rotation after the training period, as indicated by the positive correlation. More studies that examine the kinematics in overarm throwing before and after a training period must be performed to investigate the statement that maximal internal shoulder rotation velocity is the main parameter responsible for the changes in ball release velocity after training.
