Impact of ball weight on elbow kinetics and kinematics in team handball overhead throws
The findings of this study indicate that using lighter balls may reduce stress on the elbow during overhead throwing activities, while heavier balls significantly increase elbow extension torque. These findings have direct implications for designing training programs aimed at performance enhancement and injury prevention.
