The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics of shot-put throw, physical fitness and of the university shot put players. Twenty subjects were recruited for data collection and divided in two groups by considering their height as group one (n = 08) and group two (n = 12). Data was collected with a digital video camera, measuring tape for girth, sliding caliper for bone breadth and length and dynamometer for hand grip strength. The physical fitness variables were long standing jump, hand strength, 30-meter dash, flexibility, agility, and throw distance. Independence t-test was applied for statistical analysis. The tall heighted throwers were significantly higher, than the short heighted throwers in stature, body mass, vertical jump, distance of the shot-put throw, wrist girth, upper arm length, leg length, arm span, and pelvic breadth. Except the left leg angle all selected variables were not significantly different in the kinematics analysis of the shot-put throw. It is concluded, the tall heighted find biomechanical advantage from their large muscles size and leverage of the longer bone than short height throwers. Therefore, it is proposed selector should also considered the tall throwers for final selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
