Abstract
This study is to analyze the kinematic variables in release motion of discuss throwing. For the matter, 5 people from the national team and collegiate discuss throwing in the year 2001 were chosen as the subjects and two S-VHS video cameras set in 60frames/sec were used for recording their motions. Coordinated raw positions data through digitizing are smoothing by butter-worth 's low-pass filtering method at a cut off frequency 6.0Hz. and the direct linear transformation(DLT) method was employed to obtain 3-D position coordinates. The conclusions were as follows; 1. The better record players showed the shorter approach time in the last support phase. 2. In the displacement CG, the better record players showed the shorter displacement in medial-lateral direction, and the longer displacement in horizontal direction. In the motion, the COG showed longer displacement vertical direction. 3. The better record players showed the faster horizontal velocity than vertical velocity in the release. 4. The better record players showed to take the posture of vertical axis in the release.
