Title
The Hammer Throw and Gravity.
Abstract
This article looks at the article "The pattern of hammer speed during a hammer throw and influence of gravity on its fluctuations," by J. Dapena from the "Journal of Biomechanics." An experiment that measures the effect of gravity on velocity of hammer movement during the hammer throw is discussed. It was found that adjusting for gravity reduces velocity fluctuations to some extent.
