← Sports & EntertainmentWhy does a baseball pitcher’s shoulder experience high angular impulse during a throw?
A)Minimizing kinetic chain summation effects
B)Maximizing kinetic chain summation effects✓
C)Reducing joint degrees of freedom
D)Limiting the center of gravity excursion
💡 Explanation
A high angular impulse occurs to transfer momentum up the kinetic chain, from the legs to the hand. This happens because maximizing the kinetic chain summation allows for greater velocity at the point of release, therefore increased angular impulse is generated, rather than limiting momentum transfer.
