Handball is one of the most common sports that is played all around the world, the shots and the throws of the game are even more commonly known as they are not only used in this game but are also known because they are used in various other games as well. One of the most commonly known and one of the most effective throws in the game of handball is of the over arm throw in the game of handball which is not only used much commonly in the game of handball but is also widely used in other games, which include baseball, javelin and football as well.

As Stodden et. al (2001) and many other researches have identified that there are different ways through which the over arm throw can not only be performed but can also be made more effective, these ways have their basis on physics in particular, which focus upon the velocity and the momentum of the throws in order to make them more effective. Although we have a lot of studies that focus on the peculiarities of the over arm in many different games including handball as one of them, but there are a very few researches present that focus on the global perspective of the over arm throw (Stodden et. al, 2001; Matsuo et. al, 2001).

Moreover the studies that have focused on the peculiarities of the over arm throw have focused more on the kinetics, like that of the shoulder movement and the energy level required to perform and effective throw, while not showing a global perspective even on these factors. The key focus of this paper is on the fundamental motor skills required for developing the key skills like throwing which in turn are the ones that help in increasing the efficiency of each shot or throw, to be more particular it helps in increasing the velocity of the over arm throw.

Many of the complex tricks and techniques, that are made possible through a certain number of skills are actually made possible through the combination, adaptations and through the refinements of these fundamental motor skills, which are to be taught to the players at a very early age and which ensures them to be competitive in the sports section in their future. In order to maintain a good record at over arm throw in the hand ball game is through the learning and adaptation of these necessary motor skills.

The tools used to monitor the result of implementing or focusing upon the fundamentals motor skills on the over arm throw used in the game of handball are velocimeter and a radar, which calculate the speed of the ball of a player before his key focus on his fundamental motor skills and also after his key emphasis on the fundamental motor skills (Halverson et. al, 1979). The use of these tools identify the key changes in the velocity of the ball in the game of hand ball and in ...
