Rules in playing the game on discus throw?

Detailed rules differ by state, but here are some general rules. The thrower is forbidden from stepping out of the circle until the official gives him clearance. Some areas allow the thrower to step ON the line as long as he is not OVER the line, but in many areas stepping on the line disqualifies the thrower. The discus must land within the two lines that form the throwing sector. If it lands outside of the line, it is called a scratch-aka it doesn't count. This is another area where the rules change depending on where you are- in some places the throw will count if the disc lands on the line; in other places that throw would be a scratch.

What is the best technique in shot put?

The heavy metal ball (shot) is cradled in one hand against the side of the neck. The thrower assumes a semi-crouch, then turns or spins to gain momentum. At the proper point, he uncrouches to full height, pushing the shot forward with the entire body as the arm extends straight from the shoulder, to thrust it outward and upward. This "explosion" of bodily motion imparts the necessary velocity to the shot.

What equipment do you need in shotput?

All that is really needed to throw the javelin in terms of equipment is an appropriately weighted javelin.

Depending on the level of competition an athlete is engaging in, their respective bodily needs as determined by the strain they subject their body to during delivery,and the environment in which they will be throwing, other equipment might be necessary.

In terms of environment, track/runway surfaces vary. Ideally, javelin throwers wear javelin boots, which have spikes located on the front of the foot (essentially the same position as a runner's spikes) along with spikes on the heel. The spikes needed depending on the runway. Some surfaces require short, ceramic spikes (mondo) and others, especially grass runways, require longer spikes to prevent slippage. It is also recommended that javelin throwers bring towels to dry off javelin handles in inclement weather and a brush of some sort to clean grass or dirt out from between the spikes of the javelin boots.

If a javelin athlete has pre-existing injuries or experiences soreness when throwing the javelin, certain braces are recommended to prevent injury. The most common is a structured back brace, built to aid the arch of the thrower's back during delivery while preventing over extension or stain. Knees and elbows are other common sites for braces or taping.

Finally, high level athletes typically use grip chalk (like weight lifters or shot putters) to enhance their grip on the implement, but this is certainly not an essential piece of equipment.
