Using this video so I can throw like Rory delap😂

Throwing a baseball gets speed and distance from the legs, hips, and body rotation. The arm is just an extension of the body. You don't throw with the arm in baseball. Great video of the breakdown of throwing the Javelin.

Gud n informative details shared.

Really, really useful. Thanks for posting.

What is the best angle made by the javelin with respect to the horizontal (ground) that makes it a perfect throw for a longer distance?

Javelin is that sport you can pursue if your parents want you to become an engineer but you just love sports

I pause the video right away after five minutes so that the thrower could rest😓

Neeraj Chopra, remember the name..

This is quite a good analysis, other than saying that the rear leg pushes/thrusts into the block. By the time the block hits, the work of the rear leg is finished. The action of the rear leg is to "get out of the way" of the CG path forward so there is no loss of momentum coming into the block for the sudden, jolting stop that begins the elastic reflex loading for the javelin delivery. Force plate studies on elite javelin throwers show that throws that have minimal ground force from the rear leg tend to have very high ground force on the block leg and that combination results in the longest throws.

Your all time javelin throw record is incorrect Its more than a 100m

👍👍👍

I never could do it. The rest of the class were fine, running up and doing like a whipping motion with their body. I couldn't, it just didn't feel comfortable for me to do that at all. So I threw half the distance of the others. No wonder I hated sport in school.

Great breakdown of the throw. Great video

Especially enjoyed the mention of which muscles are involved as I'm presently working on a weightlifting program for the Javelin throw and this information helps me devise exercises to strengthen those muscle groups. Good technical analysis too as I think most people would expect the best angle of release to be around 45 degrees. One small error is the failure to mention that Ewe Hohn of Germany threw the old style javelin over a hundred meters, which prompted the redesign of the present javelins to prevent them from spearing high jumpers which are customarily competing at the end of the Javelin throw landing area. Oddly enough, throwers are now approaching that distance again. I wonder if it will cause another redesign in the javelin to make it come down sooner yet again.

Excellent instructions for the keen javelin chucker go forth keep at it never give up think 🤔 and try and implement body positions shown here can't be that difficult if your so eager to throw around the 50m mark can it? 😕if you succeed it will make you really happy 😊 and think 🤔 I'm pretty good
