Torque plays an important role in providing power behind the athlete’s throw when fielding a backhand. The knee, along with the rotation of the trunk produces torque as the athlete moves from the prepatory step to drive step. It is defined as the amount of force placed on an object. To calculate this, the mass of the model must be multiplied by the angular acceleration. This can increase with the greater distance of the momentum arm. The higher the amount of torque the more power produced behind the
