Fig 1.
Release parameters produced by participants plotted as a function of Distance.
Fig 2.
Plots of the mean index of synergy across the throw for hand orientation (left column), hand position (middle column) and hand velocity (right column), defined with respect to the shoulder (internal frame of reference). The top row plots data for throws to 5m, the middle row, 10m, and the bottom row, 15m.
Fig 3.
Plots of the mean index of synergy across the throw for hand orientation (left column), hand position (middle column) and hand velocity (right column), defined with respect to the lab (external frame of reference). The top row plots data for throws to 5m, the middle row, 10m, and the bottom row, 15m.
Fig 4.
Plots of the mean index of synergy across the throw for release angle (left column), release speed (middle column) and release height (right column), defined with respect to the lab (external frame of reference). The top row plots data for throws to 5m, the middle row, 10m, and the bottom row, 15m.
Fig 5.
The proportion of each mean index of synergy time series that was >0.5 for each of the nine performance variables and for each distance (top, 5m; middle, 10m; bottom, 15m).

Plot of the mean total variance for each distance.
