	Leg theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simply put, leg theory involves concentrating the bowling attack at or near the line of leg stump.
		Since a leg theory attack means the batsman is more likely to hit the ball on the leg side, additional fielders on that side of the field can be effective in preventing runs and taking catches.
		Leg theory can be a moderately successful tactic when used with both fast bowling and spin bowling, particularly leg spin to right-handed batsmen or off spin to left-handed batsmen.

	Bodyline -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Leg theory had been around for ages before the bodyline series, and was a relatively harmless thing, which never became controversial.
		Leg theory bowling could be at any pace and any length, where bodyline was all about short-pitched fast bowling intended to injure the batsman, or else force him to defend himself in such a way that he got out.
		Leg theory could then become a seperate article which is ''actually about leg theory'', but it's probably better to just describe leg theory as a paragraph in the bodyline article, I doubt that there is enough meat in the subject to merit an entire entry all to itself.

	Bodyline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodyline, also known as Fast Leg Theory, was a cricketing tactic devised by the English cricket team for their 1932–33 tour of Australia, specifically to combat the extraordinary batting skill of Australia's Don Bradman.
		The English players and management were consistent in referring to their tactic as fast leg theory because they considered it to be a variant of the established — and relatively harmless — leg theory tactic.
		Although this rule was not principally intended to prevent leg theory, it diluted the potency of short-pitched leg theory, as it allowed for fewer catching positions on the leg side.

	Upper Leg Pain -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Leggings are tight, form-fitting pants that extend from the waist to the ankles; in the United States, they are sometimes referred to as tights (although the word ''tights'' is often used to refer to opaque pantyhose).
		Leggings made from a nylon-lycra blend (usually 90% nylon, 10% lycra) are traditionally worn for exercise, although beginning in the 1980s they have also been worn for fashion.
		Leggings were primarily worn by men in Europe, especially during the 15th and 16th centuries (the Renaissance period), and into the early 17th century (the time of Shakespeare).

		for arm and leg gestures are analyzed by the relationship of the free end of the limb to its point of attachment.
		When there is a separation between movements, your arm or leg will stay where it is until the next movement (you do not have to write a pause sign).
		It is also possible to redefine the vertical dimension according to the line of the spine, or to redefine front, back and sides according to the unchanging orientation of the room or performance space (see Systems of Reference in the Hutchinson textbook or Clefs in the Knust textbook for a full explanation of keys).

	Chiropraxis \| Robert Cooperstein, DC
		This friction would prevent the left and right legs from moving independently enough to reflect subtle differences in the left/right tone of the suprapelvic musculature, the underlying asymmetry that in my opinion most likely accounts for the functional short leg.
		Fearing that suspending the legs of the prone patient would hyperextend his knees and possibly bias the outcome, I suggested that it might be better to achieve friction-reduction by placing the subject's legs on independently moving leg pieces.
		The leg pieces as well could be secured by engaging electrogmagnets that would contact their ferromagnetic undersurfaces.

		When the thigh of the lead leg drives up to a position parallel to the track, momentum is transferred to the lower leg, which extends naturally.
		This is necessary to increase the moment of inertia of the arm to balance the greater mass of the trail leg moving in the opposite direction.

		The model is that political theory formulates principles, concepts, ideals, and values; and politics (so far as it does what the theory wants) seeks to express these in political action, through persuasion, the use of power, and so forth.
		In A Theory of Justice (TJ) itself, the theory also implied a certain amount about the ends of political action, because of implications of applying the Difference Principle: though, interestingly, even there it was presented less in terms of a programme, and more in terms of a required structure.
		The idea of "LEG" is normative for us as applied to our own society; so it is also normative in relation to other societies which co-exist with ours and with which we can have or refuse to have various kinds of relations: they cannot be separated from us by the relativism of distance.

		In theory, each leg of the triad was supposed to be able to launch a second-strike attack capable of inflicting an amount of damage unacceptable to the Soviet leaders, thereby deterring nuclear attack and generating crisis stability.
		Each leg of the triad was supposed to be able to absorb a Soviet nuclear strike and still "assure destruction" of the Soviet Union.

	Cricinfo - How Tendulkar drove England to leg theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		He's arguably the best batsman since Bradman, and Sachin Tendulkar's genius is such that he could drive a man to leg theory.
		In England, where he cannot be so sure of the ball holding its line for the whip or pull, the figure is only 42% (230 of 543).
		Despite England dominating the last two matches and employing various containing tactics (leg theory; 8-1 fields), Tendulkar scored more quickly in this series than he did in India in 1992-93, when England were thrashed 3-0.
