Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to show how the Rasch model of item response theory (IRT) can be used to improve the qualitative analysis of human movement, e.g. the overarm throw. The overarm throw is a fundamental movement pattern of many sports skills. The ability to analyze it is a critical teaching and coaching skill. The Rasch model should help to recognize the difficult critical features of the movement. One hundred and twenty nine children took part in this study (88 boys, 41 girls, ages ranging from 12 to 14 years). The data were taken from videotapes of the actual performance of subjects. It has been found that applying the Rasch model can be both simple and practical since in its terms the most difficult critical features of the overarm throw were clearly identified.
