Relationship between kinematic parameters of standing throw and ball velocity of female handball players

Abstract

Purpose: The standing throw is the most applied throwing technique in team handball (Wagner et al., 2008); therefore, the purpose of our study was: to establish the relationships between kinematic parameters and ball velocity at release (shooting performance), a key performance factor. Methods: Overall, 10 junior female state level (west Bengal) players from the Guskara College handball coaching camp were analyzed by using two standard camcorders. Ball velocity was assessed in standing throw (St) from 7 m penalty spot. Kinovea 0.8.27 motion analysis software was used to access the kinematic data. IBM SPSS Statistics 25 was used for statistical calculation. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation between variables. The level of Significance was set at p
