Research Abstract |
In sports there are various coaching theories, most of which are not described with objective or scientific words. In this work we propose a theoretical method to elucidate basic mechanisms based on rigid-body mechanics, which is applicable to various sports movements. Specifically we consider throwing motion in baseball and men-uchiin kendo, and try to apply the results to sports coaching and physics education. We show the importance of hybrid effects of gravity, inertial force, restorative force of muscles and reaction of muscle contraction, which are usually unnoticed.
