Comparative analysis of elite football players’ throw-in

Publication

Abstract

The observed parameters of throw-in in the players show a longer distance (the length of throw-in) when throwing after a run up that in throwing from a standing position. In throw-in from a standing position an average value of the longest measured trials was xds = 20.19 ± 1.52 m.

In throw-in after the run up, the distance of the throw was longer about 13.5 % when compared to throw-in from the standing position (xdr = 23.34 ± 2.75 m). In case of maximal velocity of the ball after the throw-in, the lower average speed was registered in throw-in from the standing position vs = 50.1 km/h than in the throw-in after run up vr = 53.9 km/h.

The highest registered speed after throw-in from the standing position was vsmax = 56.2 km/h and the minimal speed was vsmin = 42.2 km/h. Variation coefficient of the speed of all trials is 6.6 %.

When throwing-in after run up the maximal measured velocity was vrmax = 62.3 km/h and the minimal velocity was vrmin = 46.9 km/h.
