The duration of the throw is correlated with the throwing distance in men's and women's hammer thowing with three and four turns

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the duration of the throw and the throwing distance in hammer throwing with three and four turns. The time analysis of the technique phases of the participants in the men's (62.3 m ± 8.5) and women's (52.5 m ± 8.8) hammer throwing events of the 2nd League of the 3rd European Team Championships (Novi Sad. Serbia, 18-19 June 2011) was used. Data were retrieved after recording the throwers with a JVC GR-D815E (Victor Company, Japan) digital video camera (sampling frequency: 50fps) and analyzing the captured throws with the V1 Home 2.0 Software (Interactive Frontiers Inc). The relationship between the duration of the phases of the throw and the hammer throw performance was examined with a two-tailed Pearson Correlation using the SPSS 10.0.1 Software (SPSS Ine, Chicago, IL). Results indicated trat a strong correlation exists between the duration of the hammer throw and the throwing distance for throwers using 4 turns (r = -.83; p < .01) and 3 turns (r = -.96: p < .01). The majority of the throwers spent a larger percentage of the total duration of the throw being in single than in double support phase. It was concluded that the faster the athlete executed the throw (smallest total duration of the throw), the further the hammer went (larger throwing distance).
