Description of shot put.

Throwing the shot seems to be a simple action. As long as the arm strength is strong enough, you can throw the shot with force. In fact, the shot put test is not only the upper limb strength, but also many other requirements.

First of all, the transmission of power in the throwing process is a complete transmission path, from feet and legs to waist and abdomen, and then to shoulders and neck, arms, wrists and fingers. The transmission of power cannot be interrupted, and it needs the whole body to coordinate. Therefore, it is necessary to practice more and master the coordination of the body in order to explode the greatest strength. Throwing only with the strength of wrist and arm, no matter how long you practice, you can't improve your performance.

In addition, the shot put requires the athlete's physical strength to be large enough. In addition to the strength of upper limbs, the strength of lower limbs should be stable. The slide and rotation of the athlete's body from the run-up to the starting line tests the strength of the lower limbs. Only when the lower limbs are calm can the whole movement process be supported and the arm strength can be better transmitted.
