JA2340 16 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 As I understand it, from some sports science students I taught once (not that i taught the sports stuff!) the physiology of the female body mitigates against the sort of movements required to throw hard overhand. The bumps on the chest, as well as the support musculature for them, may have something to do with it too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That may have some relevance when you are talking about full grown women, but even in pre-pubescent children there are gender differences in throwing. I see it everyday in the playground at the elementary school I work at Link to post Share on other sites
