"The muscle spindle is provoked by a quick stretch, which reflexively produces a quick CONTRACTION of the agonistic and syneriistic extrafusal muscle fibers."

Here is the quote

If muscle force is not generated by the fibers that do not act in the area where the golgi orgain is located the golgi will change its firing frequency or show a drop in its activity.

Can you give me a quote from the link you listed above. The link only opens to the preview of the book.

The excerpt from the book below called The Athlete's Shoulder written by Kevin E. Wilk, Michael M. Reinold, and James R. Andrews published in 2008 documents the shoulder activity by muscle and phase during baseball pitching. Table 32-1 clearly shows that the only accelerator muscle that increases its voluntary isometric contraction during the acceleration phase is the Triceps brachii. All the other accelerators maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) are occurring during the arm cocking phase. The book also states under the table that Gowan and colleagues demonstrated that muscle activity from the pectoralis major, supraspinatus, serratus anterior, and biceps brachii was approximately 50% greater in amateur pitchers compared with professional pitchers. From their data it can be concluded that better throwing efficiency by professional pitchers might require less muscle activity compared with amateurs. This is my point exactly. All of my points are based on comparisons between amateurs and professionals because everyone who reads my articles would more than likely like to be a professional one day. Thanks for the challenge my friend.

very very clever, using a study from 1983 (a one time, "preliminary report" study from 26 years ago to try to prove a point). In fact, I believe it was the same study Dick Mills cleverly used/ dug up to try to support his point of view that the arm is inactive in the throw. Very clever, I must commend you for managing to find "science" to back your point of view.

Now, I'm not saying it's a bad cue to tell a player to think t use his body first to whip the arm, but i have a problem with the misinformation and dishonesty in trying to claim that the arm makes no active attempt to throw the ball. That is a flat out lie. Anybody can see a major league player is using his arm to throw the ball (in addition to the energy built up from his body). I think it's ludicrous that few people seem to have caught on to this.

I challenge you to find 3 more studies supporting this point of view, from the last 10 years. No, just one more study, from the last 10 years and done by different researchers that supports your argument. And post clips of throwers in your articles so people can decide for themselves if you're making sense.
