Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this case study was to evaluate the longterm training periodization of the Greek record holder in women’s hammer throw. The training parameters which were recorded and assessed in relation to the athlete's best throwing performance were: the strength training, the running and jumping exercises, the specific throws with implements of various weights and the imitation drills. The evaluation of the athlete's longitudinal planning showed that after 5 years of intensive training the throwing performance of the athlete was maximized. In addition, the training seasons 2003-2005 of the studied athlete were characterized by the high volume of the biomotor elements of strength, speed and throwing skills. The assessment of the interaction between the training means and the throwing performance showed that the athlete's improvement was strongly related to the upper-body strength and the lower-body explosive power. Furthermore, the imitation drills and the specific throws with implements contributed to the athlete's throwing development. In summary, this training report presents the performance progress of a world-class athlete emphasizing that the coach must be focused firstly on building-up the female thrower's strength and then to bridge the gap between the explosive power and technique.
