Biomechanical analysis of the sidearm throwing motion for distance of a flying disc: a comparison of skilled and unskilled ultimate players.

Abstract:

:Joint angles of the throwing limb were examined from the acceleration phase up until release for the sidearm throwing motion when using a flying disc. 17 individuals (ten skilled, seven unskilled) threw a disc as far as possible ten times. Throwing motions were recorded using three-dimensional high-speed videography. The initial condition of disc release and joint angle kinematics of the upper limb during the throwing motion were obtained. Mean (+/- standard deviation) throwing distance and disc spin rate were significantly greater for skilled throwers (51.4 +/- 6.6 m, 12.9 +/- 1.3 rps) than for unskilled throwers (29.5 +/- 7.6 m, 9.4 +/- 1.3 rps), although there was no significant difference in initial velocity of the disc between the two groups (skilled: 21.7 +/- 1.7m/s; unskilled: 20.7 +/- 2.5m/s). A marked difference in motion of supination/pronation of the forearm before disc release was identified, with the forearm supinated in the final acceleration phase leading up to disc release for the unskilled participants, while the forearm was pronated in the same phase for the skilled participants. These differences in joint kinematics could be related to differences in disc spin rate, and thus led to the substantial differences in throwing distance.
