Background and Study Aim. Hammer throwing is the most complex athletic throwing discipline with rotational trajectory and strong effect of several different forces that try to disable the projected throwing trajectory. Kinematic parameters are an important segment in the analysis of athletic disciplines, including hammer throw. They are an indicator of influence and often a difference between competitors of different or the same rank of the competition. The aim of the study was to determine the spatial and temporal differences of kinematic parameters between male and female elite hammers. Material and Methods. The study was conducted on sample of 16 Daegu World Championship finalists in 2011, to analyse differences in kinematic parameters between male and female throwers hammer. To obtain the required results, t-test for small independent samples was applied. Results. The data obtained in the study were given as Mean and Standard deviation. Statistically significant differences between male and female finalists were confirmed in the rate of ejection (t=3.684; p<0.004) and the speed of the fourth turn (t=4.396; p<0.002). The male finalists achieved an average ejection velocity of 27.91m/s and the female finalists 27.17m/s, with an average turn speed of 4.67m/s (male) and 4.03m/s (female). Conclusions. The research has shown that significant differences were made between male and female finalists in Daegu in 2011. The causes of differences can be found in length of training, different training process, technical mastery, competitor experience, morphological profile, motor and anatomical structures, movement technique and biomechanical parameters, which were not taken into the research.

In order to have successful technical analysis athletics uses modern biomechanical methods, and the obtained results are subjected to numerous analyzes. On the basis of the results of biomechanical parameters the most successful motor structure techniques of a competitor can be planned, programmed and analyzed, and based on this information projections for the top model in a given discipline can be made. Also based on these data possible gender differences between the jumpers can be analyzed, in order to possibly establish model and numerical values for both male and female population of jumpers. The survey was conducted on a sample of male and female finalists of the World Athletics Championships in Berlin in 2009 with the aim of determining the difference in the kinematic parameters that are important in achieving the score success. The sample included 16 athletes (8 female and 8 male), who participated in the finals World Championship.Using T-test module were obtained the results which established statistically significant differences between male and female athletes in eight (72%) of the analyzed kinematic parameters in favor of male jumpers. The differences were identified in the following kinematic parameters: running speed on the section run (11-6m; T=8,347) and (6-1m, T=8,031), the speed of the second step (VLCT2SB, T=8,678), the first step (VLCT1SB, T=11,463) and the horizontal speed of the rebound (HoVLCT, T=4,627) to the level of significance (p<0,001).Also were identified differences in the parameters of the length of the third step (LNGT3SB, T=2,840), the first step (LNGT1SB, T=2,270) and vertical speed of the rebound (VoVLCT, T=2,246) to the level of significance (p<0,05). Kinematic parameters (28%) of the second step length (LNGT2SB), the duration of phase contact (CONTACT) and the angle of reflection (ANGLE) have not recorded statistically significant differences between male and female finalists, which amounts to 28%.
