The attainment of approximate ambidexterity in throwing and its relation to physical and mental efficiency as well as symmetry of posture

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Activities such as throwing are, as a rule, carried out only with the better arm.Mostly this one-sided execution is due to mere convenience.If attempts are made to justify it, in the main two arguments are advanced: In the first place, it is taken for granted that the inferior arm cannot make appreciable progress anyway, and it is therefore considered as not worthwhile exercising it.In the second place, it is believed that, if the inferior arm should improve by such a practice, this happens at the expense of efficiency in general, and may have detrimental consequences in some regards or other.
