Dixon-324 [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, October 18, 1999 1:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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
