Biomechanics of Throwing

Understanding the Science Behind Shoulder Motion & Performance

What is Throwing Biomechanics

Throwing is a complex, high-speed motion that requires precise coordination of muscles, joints, and ligaments to generate power and accuracy. The biomechanics of throwing are crucial in preventing injuries, improving performance, and ensuring shoulder longevity.

Common Shoulder Injuries in Throwing Athletes

  • Rotator Cuff Tears & Tendinitis
  • Labral Tears (SLAP Lesions)
  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
  • UCL (Ulnar Collateral Ligament) Injuries

Phases of Throwing Motion

Wind-Up Phase
  • Involves: Leg lift, trunk rotation, and weight shift.
  • Purpose: Sets up balance and momentum for a powerful throw.
  • Key Muscles: Core, glutes, quadriceps.

Acceleration Phase
  • Purpose: Generates speed & force for ball release.
  • Involves: Shoulder internal rotation, elbow extension, wrist flexion.
  • Key Muscles: Pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, triceps brachii.
