Kinematical Analysis of Javelin Throw

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the throw distance and the Kinematic parameter of javelin throw to clarify the individuality of the throwing movement of Punjabi university Patiala javelin throwers. Total five inter-university level male javelin throwers were selected as subjects for the study. Age of the subject ranged between 18 to 25 years. The kinematic variables were linear acceleration of wrist joint, horizontal velocity of elbow joint and Performance. The Biomechanical Analysis of Javelin athletes mean, standard deviation and Karl Pearson’s product moment coefficient correlation were employed with the help of statistical package of SPSS. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The selected linear acceleration of wrist joint, Horizontal velocity of elbow joint variables of technique in javelin throw have significant relationship with performance of javelin throw with technique.
