Talk:Throw-in

message: I am confused about the position of the feet during the throw in. The FIFA rules state that the player 
"has part of each foot either on the touch line or on the ground outside the touch line" 
So if only the heel is on the line, is this legal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.157.224 (talk • contribs) 
:Can you be more specific? Both feet have to be on or behind the line. I'm pretty sure having part of your foot over the line is an improper throw-in. - Zepheus 21:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, only part of each foot must be on (or behind) the line. If only the heel is on the line, it is still OK. --Daveb 01:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "The throw-in is taken from the point where it crossed the touch-line. Opposing players may stand at any distance from the thrower, so long as he is still on the pitch."
vs.
"If an opposing player fails to respect the required distance before the ball is in play or otherwise unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower he or she may receive a caution (yellow card)."

message: I changed the part about the angle for maximal distance. The source given states in the abstract "We found that the musculoskeletal structure of the player's body had a strong influence on the optimum release angle. When using low release angles the player released the ball with a greater release speed, and because the range of a projectile is strongly dependent on the release speed, this bias toward low release angles reduced the optimum release angle to about 30 degrees." I also found a source dealing with optimum angle of ball kick finding that the optimal angle is about 45 degrees. This demonstrates (since the maximal velocity reached by kick is higher than maximal velocity reached by throw) that the way the body is built and consequently the ability of reaching various maximal release velocity depending on the angle and not air drag is the main factor. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3737918/ A source to the calculation of the optimal angle for fixed velocity when air drag is taken into account might be also provided.
