  • Negative Centre of Mass Acceleration during throwing events

    Hello, I am studying the centre of mass acceleration of bowlers in cricket
    during delivery, i.e. propulsion phase. I find that it is largely negative
    during this phase. Have there been other studies in javelin, throwing, baseball
    pitching, or other throw-like motions that exhibit similar negative
    accelerations of the centre of mass? And, has anyone have any theories of why
    this may be the case, e.g, trunk extension phase, lower body performing as
    reactive support, etc. References would be greatly appreciated. The most
    negative phases occur during intial contact, and just prior to release.

    Thank you.
