Fundamental of Javelin

The document discusses fundamentals of javelin throwing techniques. It outlines several drills focusing on concepts like release speed, accelerating the center of gravity into a firm block, and moving the hips forward into throws. Specific drills described include standing medicine ball throws with long arms, windup throws sweeping the arms in a circle and shifting hips ahead, and three-step medicine ball throws with quick foot planting. Single-arm throws and running/crossover exercises emphasizing moving the center of gravity level to the ground with power from the hips and thighs are also summarized.

FUNDAMENTAL OF JAVELIN

Drill Skills of Javelin


The two technical concepts that have the greatest positive influence on how far the javelin will fly are release speed and accelerating path of the centre of gravity into a firm block.

1. Medicine Ball, Weighted Ball, and Javelin Throws


1.1 Standing Medicine Ball Throw To get the most out of this exercise, keep your arms "long". ln other words, don't bend your elbows too much. Do bend your knees, however, to help create a big arch prior to the throw.

1.2 Windup Medicine Ball Throw In this throw, sweep your arms in a big circle and shift your hips ahead of the ball. Turn the back foot early in the throw

1.3 Three-step medicine ball throw In the three-step throw, strive for a quick right-left landing on the last step, and keep the hips moving forward into the throw

2. Single-Arm Throws
2.1 Three step javelin throw

In this drill, it's important to keep the hips moving level and actively turn the back foot before the plant (figure 4).

3. Running and Crossover Exercises


During any of the running or crossover exercises, the focus is to move the centre of gravity in a path level to the ground.

The main effort needs to come out of your thighs and hips rather than your toes and ankles; think of running with knees bent and pushing/pulling your hips with the thigh action.
