The relationship between shot velocity and physical characteristics of lacrosse players

This study was designed to quantify the relationship between the velocity at which lacrosse players can shoot a lacrosse ball (shot velocity) with a lacrosse stick and a variety of physical strength attributes.Twenty lacrosse athletes were recruited to participate in the study. We measured shot velocity with a microwave, speed-measuring apparatus.Shot velocity showed significant and moderate correlations with the distance a player can throw a...
