The area of biomechanics is a mammoth field, with many millions of pounds invested into research and development. Possibly its main use, is for the design of non-living things such as buildings, bridges, cars, boats and planes, but biomechanics can be applied to sport and different sporting situations, and has had a great impact in sports research. This is because gravity, friction and air resistance make no distinction between sporting and non sporting activities. The same mechanical principles which are used in the everyday world can easily be applied to sporting examples as this study aims to prove. The aims of this experiment were two fold: 1) To compare and contrast using biomechanical techniques the two different styles of throw in used in football. 2) In comparing the two techniques draw conclusions as to the optimum release trajectories and velocities for each of the techniques concluding with an informed decision as to which...
