Throwing and kicking You create large muscular forces when you kick or throw an object such as a ball. Grip and posture Holding equipment such as an oar, bat, stick, club or racquet incorrectly may lead to poor performance, tissue damage and the development of overuse injuries such as tendonitis and osteoarthritis. Work at maintaining posture.

Practise regularly with variety.
