How do you generate power when throwing discus?
You generate power through your rotation. Discus athletes spin around twice to build up speed and then release their momentum for added speed.
Is flexibility useful for discus?
Yes, flexibility is crucial for discus throwing as it enhances the athlete's range of motion, allowing for a more fluid and powerful throwing technique. Increased flexibility in the hips, shoulders, and core can improve overall performance by enabling better rotation and balance during the throw. Additionally, flexibility helps prevent injuries by allowing the body to adapt to the stresses of training and competition.

A discus can travel as fast as you spin to throw it. Granted, most people don't throw it more than about 60-70 feet/second, but the really good throwers (Olympic level) throw it between 80-90 feet/second. If you're asking because you want to throw farther, all I can say is make sure you're throwing as fast as possible at 45 degrees.
How do you build a discus ring?
- Step1
Attach the rope. Attach the rope to the spike. You will be using the spike as the center of the ring.
- Step2
Measure the rope. The diameter of a discus ring is 96.5 inches, the rope till need to measure 48.25 inches in order to create the perfect discus-ring diameter. To ensure proper measuring, measure from the spike to the tip of the rope.
- Step3
Drive the spike. If the temporary discus ring is being placed on a soft surface, drive the spike into the ground to hold. If the surface is hard, have someone hold the spike in the center of the proposed ring.
- Step4
Take a walk. Pull the rope tight and being to walk in a circle. Using the can of spray paint, paint the ground at the tip of the rope.
- Step5
Erect the cage. By track and field regulations, throwing competitions must have a cage with a net surrounding the ring. This cage, while increasing safety, is an optional precaution for practice rings.
What is the optimum release angle for throwing the discus?
Between 35-40*. although there is some debate; it also boils down to the individual thrower to find that perfect* point of release.

hope this helps!!
Chose from two different ways:
1. With your hand flat against the top (label side) of the disc, balance it on your four fingertips without gripping it. Your finger tips should bend slightly over the edge of the disc. Squeeze the disc off, level, and in a clock-wise spin, which is essential for optimal flight.
2. Do the same as option one, but keep the index and middle fingers tightly together, if you have difficulty spinning the disc.
Learn how to "bowl" the disc. Learn how to throw it upward. Finally, learn to skim it across the grass. Remember the arm is a reaction, not the main driver in the throw. Good luck.
In track and field event -in shot put is it a foul if the shot put lands on the sector line?
I do not think that they count that as a foul. They might in high school meets, but they usually do not in the meets I've been in.
What is the throwing vector for high school discus?
The throwing vector for high school discus involves a combination of horizontal and vertical components. The athlete must generate a rotational force through the spin technique, maximizing speed and angle at release. Ideal angles for release typically range between 30 to 40 degrees, optimizing both distance and trajectory. Ultimately, the goal is to combine strength, technique, and timing to achieve maximum distance.
You can find discuses at almost any sporting goods store, such as Dicks.
What r the rules 2 the game discus?
In order for your throw to be legal, you must stay within the lines of the pit (the circle where you throw the discus), and the discus must land within two given lines chalked out on the field.
In some American high schools, you must also follow other league rules such as entering & exiting through the back of the pit, removing all jewelry before entering the pit, tucking in your shirt, etc.
What are the steps for correctly throwing a high school discus?
There are many steps and it depends on how you want to throw the discus, it can be thrown as a power throw (the front of the ring) a south African (not a real way of throwing but can be used during practice to better technique), and a full spin. Had i had more time i would break it down.
