Abstract Summary
In ten-pin bowling, bowlers try to knock down ten pins, with the allotted two tries. The present study investigated full-body kinematics and kinetics in the lower extremities in elite ten-pin bowling. Our study showed novel findings regarding how elite bowlers changed kinematics over time during the ball delivery, probably as a consequence of reduced friction between lane and ball over time. The results are discussed in relation to an energy perspective, discussing the linear and rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.
