Specialized Exercises for the javelin throw:
The javelin throw is among the evidence Launch athletic, which requires a special physical fitness, taking into
view the dynamic requirements of proof. The javelin, harmonization of the basic qualities that identify the
sprinter, the jack and the launcher, is reflected by an explosive moment and, while soft, with a continuity which
is responsible for the beauty of the movements that make this race one of the most artistic launches a program
athletic. It is also the javelin proof more spontaneous between releases that integrate a Olympic program.
In fact, the simplicity of his signature moves reminds us a boy throwing a stone.

But along with all the naturalness of action and harmony of movements, imposed as a basic condition, the great "force
explosive "required the pitcher and the exceptional flexibility required radio-humeral joint (elbow) and
scapular-humeral (shoulder). And it is the responsibility of this flexibility, in large part, the elasticity of the muscles
fall at the ends of the bones that articulate, defining the joints of the elbow and shoulder.

Allied to this requirement, we find another well-defined anatomical condition: preparing exceptional care it deserves
the dorsal wall, not only to strengthen the muscle groups that are located there, as well as the great flexibility
of the spine. Taking better care of these "weaknesses", we will not only adequately prepare the launcher, as
Also putting him safe from accidents, as commonly affect the continuity of training.
It only takes a quick analysis of the exercises that make up the series javelin throw, to convince us of the truth
these statements.

The various devices cited in the exercises could, with a little imagination, be replaced by more simple
and constitution easier and much more affordable price. Try it!

We hope, moreover, draw the attention of our readers, mainly on the technical feature that identifies the
exercises numbers 63, 64, 65 and 69.

They are exercising the "approach phase" of the javelin throw and whose
technical characteristics are as follows:
A) the approach phase is composed of five times rhythmic
B) at times 1, 2 and 3 the athlete carry the dart "high position to the low position";
C) at time 4, characterized by a "cross-step" (right leg crosses beside the left leg), the athlete situates
hips and trunk in relation to the launch;
D) time 5 represents the "launch position" from here "action to launch" itself.

Common errors in approximation:
A - Speed ​​disproportionate between the marks is a factor that contributes to a weak release. The beginner must take
mind that various speeds are recommended for different styles. This means that the speed at approximation
is very slow, no longer created the momentum necessary to javelin. If the speed is too strong, the launch has not
enough time to coordinate the action of the legs with forward movement of the torso and arms.

B - It should also be clear to the novice that if the brand gets too close to the throwing line, he "burn", and
get too far away he will lose.

Common Errors in Javelin Throw itself:

Specialized Exercises for the Discus Throw.

Specialized Exercises for the Discus Throw.

topping - good height and great weight.
It is, in fact, the record's release, the most classic of all the athletic events, and even today, several entities connected
Physical Education boast in their badges and crests the traditional figure of the discóbulo Mirus.
Looking under the rhythmic aspect, the release of the album resembles a "ballet" where the athlete within a space
extremely limited - a circle of 2.50 m in diameter - performs a series of energetic and harmonious movements in the form of spin.

Here, the athlete is also required great mobility of the pelvic girdle, which is necessary for achieving perfect
end of the release. The action of the legs is of such great importance in the release of the album, which some coaches and athletes
affirm that "throws up his legs."

However, a simple analysis of the exercises where noted special attention given separately, to the arms, trunk and
legs, convinces us that only by working harmoniaso of all segments of the body is one that we can
perfect launch.

There appears no contraindication to its practice by women, is a proof of great beauty and is in a
spectacle of real pleased the audience that attends competitions.
We also observed that besides the attention given to the muscles of the pelvic girdle, great attention is located in
development of muscle mass of the upper limbs and scapular region - every release is a test of strength.
The range of motion of the scapular-humeral articulation is focused, especially in this collection, through
exercises with various loads and also in isometric presented.

begins turning, spinning the sole of the left foot to the left. Body weight shifts to the left leg and right
leaves the ground, the knee remains flexed. Before the right foot touches the floor a quick turn left out of the body.
The right foot will tread the soil about 90cm from the starting position and step left, approximately in line with the launch.
Most of the weight is in the right leg after turning knees were flexed during the turn, the launcher
end in a low position.
Throughout the turn, the disk must be driven and far behind the body in a plane almost parallel to the ground. When an athlete
makes the final effort, he extends his right leg driving the hips forward, completing the turn, and the last thing
moving is hard. Without a good and quick entry hips, the disc never get far.
