TI  - Relationship between side medicine-ball throw performance and physical ability 
      for male and female athletes.
PG  - 47-55
AB  - The purpose of the study was to examine the factors contributing to performance 
      of a side medicine-ball throw (S-MBT) and a fast side medicine-ball throw 
      (FS-MBT) and to analyze some of the factors which account for the difference in 
      side medicine ball throw performance between the sexes. Sixteen males and ten 
      females were evaluated by S-MBT, FS-MBT, isometric maximal trunk rotation torque 
      (IMTRT), One repetition maximum of Parallel Squat (1RM(PS)) and Bench Press 
      (1RM(BP)), Bench Press peak power (BP(PP)), Static Squat Jump peak power 
      (SSJ(PP)) and vertical jump height. Males demonstrated significantly greater 
      scores than females in all measurements. Significant correlations were observed 
      in males, but not in females, between the distances during S-MBT and the IMTRT 
      values (r = 0.596-0.739, P < 0.05-0.01) and the 1RM(PS) values (r = 0.683-0.725, 
      P < 0.01). In FS-MBT performance, significant correlations were observed in 
      males, but not in females, between the ball velocity values during FS-MBT and the 
      IMTRT values (r = 0.611-0.687, P < 0.05-0.01), 1RM(BP) values (r = 0.596-0.655, P 
      < 0.05-0.01) and 1RM(PS) values (r = 0.679-0.718, P < 0.01). These results 
      suggested that the contributing factors of S-MBT and FS-MBT performance were 
      deferent in males and females. Hence, the side medicine-ball throw test would be 
      useful to examine the trunk rotation power of male athletes, but may have a 
      limited potential as a predictor of trunk rotation power for female athletes.
