Follow Through

Follow Through - After the ball gets released from your hand, your wrist slightly roatates for a perfect spiral, the opposite leg/foot steps forward towards the target and the opposite throwing arm travels slightly to the side of your waist.
Shoulder Girdle - Abduction with the Pectoralis minor and the Serratus minor.
Shoulder Joint -  Diagonally adduct the shoulder joint by concentrically contracting your pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and coracobrachialis muscles.
Elbow Joint - While both of the arms are in full extension using the medial, lateral, long head of the triceps brachii and the anconeus, the throwing arms forearm is being rotated medially using the pronator quadratus to create the perfect spiral.
Hip/Pelvic Girdle - After the release of the football, the opposite leg comes forward with slight flexion in the hip/pelvic girdle as the right leg goes backwards for extension in the hip/pelvic girdle.  The muscles used in in this motion are iliacus, psoas, rectus femoris, sartorius, pectinues, adductor magnus biceps femoris, semi-tendinosus, semi-membranosus and the gluteus maximus.
Knee Joint - Both front and back legs are being flexed and extended using muscles such as rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, lateralis and medialis, biceps femoris, popliteus, semi-membranosus and semi-tendinosus.
