It's important to realize that the although throwing is thought of as a shoulder motion, it is much
more than that. As a matter of fact, most of the power in a throwing motion happens in the legs and
trunk with the arm and shoulder playing a more secondary role.
Now that you have learned about the shoulder, elbow and trunk, I want you to do a complete
anatomical analysis of JUST the shoulder, elbow and trunk in the concentric action of the throwing
motion. Please follow the analysis outlined in table 1.2 in the textbook.
The assignment MUST be in a table format like the example provided in table 1.2 and contain the
following information and look like the following:
Starting

Force of
Joint type

being moved movement
Agonists
