MONICA HARGROVE: Technique | Overhead Pass
Dec 2, 2011
This is a great strength training exercise as throwing the medicine ball really stresses the muscles of the arms and upper back. Throwing and catching the ball, both laterally and overhead, also forces the athlete to use his/her rotational muscles of the core to stabilize the body upon the ball's impact. This workout is dynamic, and at times, it can become strenuous. Use strength training as a means to increase explosiveness, reduce injury and further activate sport-specific muscles.
