    Author(s): Singgih Hendarto*, Rumi Iqbal Doewes, Satria Yudi Gontara and Manshuralhudlori

    The study purpose was determined gender differences in the boccia underhand throw biomechanics. The research method was used a cross sectional study. The 6 boccia athletes were sampled consisting of 3 male and 3 female. The research instrument was used a throw accuracy test. Movement analysis was recorded using a camera placed on the side of the throwing arm and associated with the throw direction. The movement analysis was divided into two stages, namely the arm swing stage and the throw results, and then analyzed using Kinovea software. For gender differences in the biomechanics of boccia underhand throw, an independent t-test was carried out. At the arm swing stage, female players were greater in backswing angles (175° for female, 155.67° for male, p = 0.122), front-swing angles (148° for female, 140° for male, p = 0.570), and power (19.88 J/s for female, 16.93 J/s for male, p..
