I notice that “throwers” of the shot put, discus, hammer throw etc. let out a big scream as they finish their throw. How much does it help, is it “necessary”, and would there be a big difference in result if they didn’t scream?
In: Physics
You have 2 muscle types, the big ones you use for lifting and pulling, then you jave another muscle type that I know as twitch muscles.
The twitch muscles are like a spring, when you throw something or punch something at the end of your reach you use the second type of muscle, the letting out noise helps release the spring muscle ‘harder’.
Thus is why big muscles doesn’t mean good puncher, the ones who can create faster speed and use twitch muscles are the real heavy hitters.
