  • Re: throwing and gender

    Hi,

    For Gender difference studies, many databases try to index under
    thesaural terms like SEX FACTORS. On Sport database: exploding the
    descriptor Throwing and linking it with the descriptor Sex Factors should
    get you going. On Medline, there is no descriptor for Throwing, but there
    is for Sex Factors, which you can link with the keyword throwing. (Samples
    below) Good luck,
    Patrick Ellis

    brief quantitative literature analysis

    The objective of the present study was to investigation the stages of the
    motor development of adults in the basic skill of throwing. The task used
    in the investigation was that of distance throwing a tennis ball over the
    shoulders (12 meters). Subjects were seventy randomly selected university
    students stratified by sex - 35 males and 35 females - enrolled in the
    several classes of sport practice of the Universidade de Brasilia. Age
    ranged from 18 to 24 years, with a mean age of 20 years and 1 month. Each
    subject executed the research skill task on an outdoor, multipurpose
    sports court. Both the frontal and the lateral angles of the performances
    were recorded in videocassette tapes in a total of five attempts per
    subject. Taped performance were then evaluated by two researches and
    recorded on an observation instrument especially designed for the present
    study. Prior to the utilization of the observations as data for the
    analyses, intra and inter observers consistency tests were performed. They
    revealed a high level of evaluation reliability both between the observers
    and within the observations by each of them
