Summary:The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the overarm throwing motion of skilled elementary schoolgirls, and to obtain suggestions for teaching throwing motion to elementary school pupils. The subjects were the top ten and bottom ten girls who were selected on the basis of their rank in the ball-throwing event at a national athletic meeting for elementary school pupils. The girls were also videotaped by two high-speed cameras for three-dimensional DLT analysis. Three-dimensional coordinate data smoothed by a Butterworth digital lter were used to calculate ball velocity and joint kinematics, and to obtain a standard motion for each group, as reported by Ae et al. (2007).
