cisono Posted 25 January 2006 Posted 25 January 2006 How physics can improve your football 24 January 2006 New research on the mechanics of throwing could allow football teams to make greater use of "throw-ins". Two scientists at the University of Brunel in the UK have calculated that to launch a football as far as possible from a throw-in, the best angle to release the ball is 30 degrees to the horizontal. The result differs significantly from the figure quoted in most physics textbooks (Sports Biomechanics in press). Read the full article

Lukeh Posted 26 January 2006 Posted 26 January 2006 I can just imagine Kisnorbo sitting by the touchline with his calculator, slide rule and pencil and paper. Or eating a stack of hay or licking some salt?
