Kinematics differences between personal best and worst throws in actual javelin competition

This study examined kinematics differences between personal best and worst throws to determine movement corrections for javelin throwers. Eight elite Asian male throwers were filmed as participants in Taipei Athletics Open 2015 (age: 22.1 ± 2.2 years, height: 177.3 ± 3.3 cm, and weight: 82.1 ± 3.5 kg). A high-speed camera with a 300-Hz sampling rate was used to collect motion images in the sagittal plane. Three-dimensional software was used to...
