The Optimum Release Height for Javelin Throwers in Proportion to Their Lengths

Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the optimum height release for javelin throw proportion to the length of the world champions in the javelin throw event. To achieve this, the researchers used the descriptive correlative approach on a sample of international champions in this event (n=33). Data were collected through some of the previous studies. The study results showed the optimum height release of a javelin throw constitutes a 105.75% proportion to the length of the world champions in this event. The researchers recommend coaches to reconsider determining the height release of the javelin with achieving the optimum velocity and angle release should also be provided. Abbreviations should not be used in the abstract.
