Kinematic and kinetic analysis of handball throwing- review

Abstract: In team-handball competition, the offensive players try to score a goal utilizing various throwing techniques to avoid obstruction by the opposing defensive players. This various throwing techniques differ in the lower body movements (with and without run-up or jump) which influence changes in the upper body movements and thus also affect the performance. Kinematics is the study of motion and as a branch of mechanics it deals with the switch of positions, speed and speed accelerations in all forms of motions, without considering the forces that influence that motion. Kinetics is based on the application of some of the different types of force converters used in different types of force measurement equipment. The objective of this paper is to analyse previous research dealing with kinematic and kinetic analysis of various throwing techniques in team handball. Since 2003 up to now there have been only 15 analysis of throwing in handball with an objective to obtain a principal model which would serve as the most correct example in throwing training. Obtained data can serve as an instruction to coaches about the correct positioning of parts of body in the process of learning.
