Positional kinematic differences related to on-field demands also remain underexplored. This cross-sectional study analyzed jump throws (n\u2009=\u200941; central\/back players\u2009=\u200920, wing\/pivot players\u2009=\u200921) using 3D motion capture. The proximal-to-distal sequence was evaluated by comparing the timing of peak angular velocities across joints and segments (paired\n                    <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                    tests). Peak angular velocity and joint range of motion excursion were compared between central\/back and wing\/pivot players (independent\n                    <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                    test). Correlation coefficients assessed associations between proximal and distal variables, and significant variables were entered into a hierarchical regression to determine their contribution to shoulder IR angular velocity. Results revealed a proximal-to-distal sequence pattern. Central\/back players demonstrated higher peak angular velocities in most segments, along with increased range of motion in the hip, pelvis, and thorax. Hip and pelvis kinematics explained 44% of the variance in peak shoulder IR angular velocity (\n                    <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.44,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.001). This is the first study to highlight the substantial influence of proximal kinematics on shoulder IR angular velocity in the jump throw. Observed positional differences underscore the need for position-specific strength and power training strategies in handball.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jab.2025-0205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,25]],"date-time":"2026-04-25T01:27:29Z","timestamp":1777080449000},"page":"376-382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Jump Throw Proximal-to-Distal Sequence\u2014Contribution of the Proximal Segments to the Shoulder Kinematics"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7638-4843","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"K\u00e1ri","family":"\u00c1rnason","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Research Centre of Rehabilitation and Movement Science\u2014Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9070-249X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Atli","family":"Agustsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Research Centre of Rehabilitation and Movement Science\u2014Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0606-991X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Krist\u00edn","family":"Briem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Research Centre of Rehabilitation and Movement Science\u2014Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"J Sport Sci Med","first-page":"73","article-title":"Performance and kinematics of various throwing techniques in team-handball","volume":"10","author":"Wagner H","year":"2011","unstructured":"Wagner H, Pfusterschmied J, von Duvillard SP, Muller E.
