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
