• It is the only time a player can kick the ball from the sideline.

How does a player generate momentum for a throw-in?

• By jumping high before the throw.

• By running up to the sideline.

• By spinning around before the throw.

• By standing still and using arm strength.

What analogy is used to explain the transfer of momentum in a throw-in?

• A rolling wheel.

• A tapered Newton's Cradle.

• A swinging pendulum.

• A bouncing ball.

What is the principle of kinetic linking?

• The principle of standing still for maximum power.

• The use of only arm muscles for a throw.

• The movement of larger body segments to accelerate smaller ones.

• The use of leg muscles only for a throw.

What is the final result of the kinetic linking principle in a throw-in?

• A slower throw.

• A more powerful throw.

• A shorter throw.
