Technical Analysis of the Javelin Throw at the High Impulse of Young Athletes in China

This paper presents a technical analysis of some of the best throws in the youth javelin in China. The study showed that their technique was far from the ideal. The common faulty actions were as follows: During the rather high impulse stride there is a pronounced backward lean of the body; the throwing arm bends too early and too much after the plant on the right foot; the front leg plants with a bent knee and it is not fully extended at release; the throwing action of the arm is not delayed.
