Model of female handball players’ overhead shot technique

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study provides an in-depth analysis of the biome chanical foundations of the overhead shot technique in female handball players. The movement process was assessed using 3D motion capture technology, examining joint function, torque, synchronous movement of body segments, and the trajectory of the center of gravity. Re sults showed that the technique's effectiveness is closely related not only to upper joint activity but also to the low er legs' ability to generate thrust, rotational work of the thigh and pelvis, and overall body stability. The sequen tial transfer of energy from bottom to top, culminating in acceleration particularly in the shoulders and elbows, optimizes the force and direction of the shot. Controlled displacement of the center of gravity maintains dynamic balance of motion, which enhances accuracy and stabil ity. This analysis enables understanding of complex bio mechanical interactions, serving to refine technique and improve game performance.
