BIOMECHANICAL FOUNDATIONS OF HAMMER THROW TECHNIQUE AND ITS IMPROVEMENT

This article highlights the biomechanical foundations of hammer throw technique and the scientific–methodological aspects of improving technical training. Hammer throwing is one of the most complex coordination-based events in athletics, in which achieving high performance directly depends on the athlete’s strength, speed, balance, and movement coordination. In particular, the biomechanically correct organization of the throwing technique is considered one of the key factors determining sports performance. The article analyzes the biomechanical indicators of the hammer throw, including the phases of rotation, centrifugal force, release velocity and angle, and the stability of the support point. In addition, a system of special exercises aimed at improving the effectiveness of technical training, as well as modern methods for enhancing movement technique, are scientifically substantiated. The research results demonstrate that training sessions organized on the basis of biomechanical analysis contribute to the improvement of athletes’ throwing technique, enhancement of movement efficiency, and overall performance outcomes.
