The aim of the current study was to determine ball velocity and throwing distance in standing and running throw-in techniques, and to correlate this performances with isokinetic torques of the, elbow, shoulder, and trunk extensors and flexors. 14 male amateur soccer players volunteered to participate to the current study. Concentric Isokinetic tests were measured at 60 and 180 degrees/s angular velocities for elbow and shoulder, 30 and 120 degrees/s angular velocities for trunk. Ball velocity was measured by a radar gun and the throwing distance was measured regarding throw-in performance. Unpaired t-test was used to analyze ball velocity and throwing distance differences between two different throwing techniques. To clarify relationship between isokinetic strength values and ball velocities and distance which occur during two types of throwing techniques Pearson Correlation Analyze was used.
