Subject: Biomechanics of javelin
I'm a second year student at Leeds Met and I'm currently looking at
release characteristics of the javelin. I have so far looked at Bartletts
work with heptathletes and articles by Wilf Paish, Budsworth and Murrie
and Brown Et al (1993). I would be greatful for any useful suggests of any
straightforward articles on the subject as most the ones I have found so
far focus general throwing bar a few. The aim of my work was more to
discuss than analise so some more article are important to me.
Thank You
Marie
