Follow Through Phase

In the follow through phase I still need to contract certain segments. To make sure my shot is effective I need to contract smaller muscles in my arms. I can see from my execution phase that I am using my larger muscles first then my smaller muscles last.

While in the follow through phase the joints that are being used are my Shoulder joint and my Elbow joints. While moving from the execution phase to the follow through phase both my shoulder and elbow joints are working. The shoulder joint is extending, the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is latissimus dorsi and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Pectoralis Major. The elbow joint is continued to extend the agonist muscle contracting to make this movement is the Triceps and the antagonist muscle relaxing in this movement is the Biceps. The differences/Similarities I can see in my joints and the ideal are my hands are too close to each other and my arms are too far out.

In the following phase I am using Newtons Third law. Newtons Third law states  whenever a force is applied there is an equal and opposite reaction, because when I apply more force to my legs it goes right through my body and into the ball. The more force I produce in my body the further the ball's is going to be shot.

In the follow through phase balance and stability is still important to producing a well executed shot. To be balanced in this phase I need to make sure my balance is equal. I know I'm balanced because my centre of gravity is inside my body. The differences I can see in my balance and stability is my knees are flexing when they shouldn't be extended which means my balance isn't stabled as the ideal.
