Abstract
This paper presents an investigation of wrist flexion in the shot put by utilizing a device that restricts wrist flexion. Males and females from various grades acting as their own controls each put the shot six times with the wrist restricted and six times without the wrist restricted. Evaluation of the data was by the Fisher t test. Significance of difference occurred for some groups.
Recommendations included the same study repeated using only well skilled shot putters and subjects involved in a specific routine of resistance exercises for strengthening the wrist.
