Table 2.
Summary of the results of Effect Size (ES) analyses for maximal linear and angular kinematic data during the forward throw phase. Data is summarized so that only comparisons that recorded Large or Very Large (Hopkins 2002) ES are listed, with those that recorded Trivial, Small or Medium ES values left blank.
| Variable | Comparison by Thrower | Comparison by Length | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1-T2 | T1-T3 | T2-T3 | Front-Middle | Front-Back | Middle-Back | |
| Linear velocities | ||||||
| CoMx | ||||||
| CoMy | VL | -VL* | -VL | -VL | -VL | |

L = Large, VL = Very Large.
* Negative values indicate that the first group is smaller than the second (e.g. the values for T2 are small than for T3)
