Shot Put

Maybe is from peter north

shotput obviously

It depends on how many people there are. Their technique. Shot put is not a scheduled thing. It can last fifteen minutes to maybe even an hour. It also depends on how many trials you get.

If you're about 18 years, i would say 12 meters, if you've not had any javelin training. Given some technique and fitness training, you'll reach 15 meters pretty quick.

You have your numbers horribly messed up. Freshman to Sophomore ranges from 70(untrained)-150 (medium to well trained) feet on average (21 meters-45 meters). As a senior, you can expect throws to be 160+ feet on average, some top of the line seniors get up into the 200's and the farthest IRL throw i have seen is 225 feet (68 meters).

Men: Ulf Timmermann of East Germany at the 1988 Games in Seoul - 22.47 meters (73 feet, 8 5/8 inches).

Women: Ilona Schoknecht-Slupianek of East Germany at the 1980 Games in Moscow - 22.41 meters (73 feet, 6 1/4 inches).

They do weightlifting and push the weights with their arms as if they are going to throw them as shot-put is about the strength in the shoulders and upper arms. But they need to train careful and pick the correct weights for them as you can sprain your shoulders, biceps or triceps. Hope this helped :)

In open competitions the men's shot weighs 7.260 kilograms (16.01 lb), and the women's shot weighs 4 kilograms (8.8 lb). Junior, school, and masters competitions often use different weights of shots, typically below the weights of those used in open competitions; the individual rules for each competition should be consulted in order to determine the correct weights to be used.

In general a shotput weights 16lbs

in juniors (schools) - it weighs 12 lbs

and in sub-juniors division - it weights 8 lbs

Usually kids under 12 do not compete since the weight of the shot put varies, but in middle school with a 8 pound shot put, a great throw would be 60 feet, so 55 feet would be a decent estimate for the furthest throw by someone younger than 12 years old.

You place the Shot put in your left or right hand depending which is your stronger hand. You want the shot to sit in your fingers, all four fingers behind the shot and the thumb in front. the shot should never touch the palm of your hand.

A shot put is a heavy round ball (almost like a huge bullet) that is used in Track and Field. The athlete will take the shot put and throw it into the air. The person who throws it the farthest will get the most points and win.

The most famous at the moment is Valeri Adams who has won in both the Olympic and the Commonwealth

It is usually referred to as a netball court and is 30.5m long (100ft) by 15.25m (50ft).

To make a throw, the competitor starts in a circle of 2.5 m (8 feet 21⁄4 in) diameter, which is recessed in a concrete pad by 20 mm. The thrower typically takes an initial stance facing away from the direction of the throw. The discus must land within a 34.92-degree sector. The rules of competition for discus are virtually identical to those of shot put, except that the circle is larger, a stop board is not used and there are no form rules concerning how the discus is to be thrown.

The shot put field event originated in the Olymipics. It was a test of strength between various athletes. The athlete who could heave the shot the farthest was the champion.

Originally the shot put was a large stone. Since it has become a 16-pound ball made of a metal not softer than brass. Most of the times it is filled with lead.

In older times, the athlete must stand on a wooden rectangle to throw. If he went outside of it, he fouled and his throw was discounted. At the time, a standing throw was the only way to put. Since, the rectangle has become a seven-foot circle. The glide has been developed since. It is used to gain momentum and create more force. Another type of throw has also been made. The rotational throw generates more force because of a longer push with the shot put.

In shot put you are tested on strength and in some cases muscular endurance. You have to throw a heavy ball ( following some rules) as far as you can!

There are two correct technique for shot put. Don't be fooled by the big strong people who scream. They are either using the Glide or the spin technique.

There are many pages online about how to do them. Personally, I use the power position. I have made over 40' easy with that. And note, I can only bench like 110lbs and my arms are weak. But i have been doing track for 5 years.

But to answer your question, any technique that is comfortable for you is the correct technique.

hopes this helps,

A good instructor; a good diet; lots of training; a solid workout routine which targets specific muscles required for her sport.

Jon Diebler or "3bler" of Ohio State 345 and counting. He could break single game record tonight also.
