Hill's Equation in the Arm Push of Shot Put

2016

Aims: The purpose of this paper was to continue the previous study of arm rotation movement where A.V. Hill’s force-velocity relationship was transformed into a constant maximum power model consisting of three different components of power. Methodology: In the present study a new model of Hill’s equation was applied for accelerated motions. This theoretically derived model of further development of Hill’s force-velocity relationship was tested by fitting it into two arm push measurements of shot put experiments. The results of the further development of Hill’s equation for accelerated motions were compared with the mechanics of the constant power model of the previous study. Results: The an…
