Abstract
Field hockey is becoming an increasingly popular sport amongst men, women and children worldwide. A two-handed swinging motion is used during a field hockey hit to produce high ball velocity making it an effective selection for long distance passing or for shooting at goal. The maximum possible speed needs to be produced, at the end of the distal kinematic chain, during a field hockey hit. The effectiveness of the latter is dependent on the movement of each involved body segment in relation to the next proximal segment.
