Dear Biomch-l subscribers:
A student of mine is investigating the rotational style of shot putting.
While several papers have been published in trade journals on this topic
(see reference list below), we have not been able to find anything in
the refereed literature. Are any of you aware of any additional
research on this style of shot putting? I will post a summary of
replies. Thanks for your help.
