Throwing Video Analysis Task
Category: Sport Skills · 5-page printable PDF · Ages 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 · Free for ConnectedPE members
A skill-development resource analysing the biomechanics of throwing through structured video analysis. Students identify the key phases of the throwing motion, film and review performances, and develop corrective strategies to improve technique.
Video changes what students can see: the throwing action happens too fast for live observation to catch everything, but frame-by-frame review makes preparation, execution and follow-through visible and discussable. Students apply biomechanical principles to real footage of real peers — analysis grounded in evidence rather than impression.
Five pages spanning Years 5–10, covering the observation framework, video workflow and corrective-strategy development. Works with any device that records slow-motion video. Note: id 7 covers similar ground with a kinetic-chain and force-summation lens for older students — consider which of the two fits your program before running both.
What students learn
Students understand the biomechanics of throwing, identify key phases of the motion, conduct video analysis, and apply biomechanical principles to improve technique.
