 D. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON:
SHOT PUT
History
• The origin of the shot put can be traced to pre-historic
• In the 17th century, cannonball throwing competitions within the English military
• In 1860 legal throws had to be taken within a square throwing area of seven feet (2.13 m)
on each side
• In 1906 amended to a circle area with a seven foot diameter
• Weight of the shot was standardized to 16 pounds (7.26 kg)
• Throwing technique was also refined over this period, with bent arm throws being
banned
• The shot put has been an Olympic sport for men since 1896 and a women's competition
using a 4 kg (8.82 lb) shot was added in 1948.
• in the 1950s PARRY O'BRIEN popularized the 180 degree turn and throw technique
commonly known as the "glide," breaking the world record 16 times along the way, while
Aleksandr Baryshnikov and Brian Oldfield introduced the "spin" or rotational technique
in 1976.
What is Shot Put
 Shot Put is played with a heavy spherical object popularly known as shot.
 The aim is to throw the shot-put as far as possible through a pushing action.
 It requires immense muscular strength and a good balance upon your body.
Facilities and Equipment
 METAL BALL - 7.26kg/16lb for men, 4kg/8.8lb for women
 THROWING CIRCLE - 2.135 meters in diameter or 7 foot
  STOP BOARD - 10 centimeters high and measures 1.21 meters in length by 0.112 meters
in width
 LANDING AREA - The length of the sector is 25m. The angle of 34.92 degrees
SHOT PUT RULES
• Upon calling the athlete's name, they have sixty (60) seconds to commence the throwing
motion
• IAAF rules permit the taping of individual fingers to cover a cut or open wound
• The athlete must rest the shot close to the neck, and keep it tight to the neck throughout
the motion
• Upon calling the athlete's name, they have sixty (60) seconds to commence the throwing
motion
• The shot must be released above the height of the shoulder, using only one hand.
• Does not pause within the circle before beginning the throwing motion.
• The athlete may touch the inside surface of the circle or stop-board, but must not touch
the top or outside of the circle or stop-board, or the ground beyond the circle
• Throws a shot which either falls outside the throwing sector or touches a sector line on
the initial impact.
• Leaves the circle before the shot has landed.
• Does not exit from the rear half of the circle

DISCUS THROW
HISTORY
• Discus throw dates back to 708 BC, one of the events within the ancient pentathlon
• In ancient times a heavy circular disc was thrown from a set standing position on a small
pedestal, and it was this style that was revived for the 1896 Olympics.
• This continued until the 1906 and added the increasingly popular modern style of turning
and throwing
• By the 1912 Olympics, the ancient standing throw style had fallen into disuse and
contests starting within a 2.5 m squared throwing area became the standard.
• The discus implement was standardized to 2 kg (4.4 pounds) in weight and 22 cm
(8 inches) in diameter in 1907. The women's discus was among the first women's events
on the Olympic program, being introduced in 1928.
How to: Discus Throw
• Holding the discus
• Preparing for a standing throw
• Executing a standing throw
• Release
FACILITIES and EQUIPMENT
• Throwing area - 2.5 meters, or 8.2 feet, in diameter. The circle has a white rim 6 mm
thick
• Discus - The discus is 2 kg (4.4 pounds) in weight and 22 cm (8 inches) in diameter
RULES
 Athletes may touch the inside of the rim only
 The athlete must begin each attempt from a stationary position within the circle
 In the discus throw the athlete is permitted to use chalk
  There should be no taping of the hand or fingers other than to cover an injury
FOUL THROW
 Dropping of the discus outside of the circle during initial swings before the turn and
throw results in a foul attempt.
 An attempt is considered a foul if the athlete touches the top or outside of the rim during
the throw.
 If the discus lands on or outside of the sector lines the throw is determined to be foul.
 The athlete should not leave the circle until the discus has touched the ground or the
attempt will be foul.
JAVELIN
HISTORY
 As an implement of war and hunting, javelin throwing began in prehistoric times.
 Incorporated into the Olympic Games in 708BC as part of the pentathlon
 In ancient competitions, athletes would wrap an ankyle (thin leather strip) around the
javelin
 The first Olympic men's javelin throw contest was held in 1908 and a women's
competition was introduced in 1932
 The first javelins were made of various types of wood, but in the 1950s, former athlete
Bud Held introduced a hollow javelin, then a metal javelin, both of which increased
throwers performances
The Javelin
Construction
The javelin shall consist of three main parts:
1. head,
2. shaft
3. cord grip
The size, shape, minimum weight, and center of gravity of the javelin implement itself are all
defined by IAAF rules. The cord grip, approximately 150 mm wide
weight length
MEN 800 grams 2.6-2.7m
WOMEN 600 grams 2.2-2.3m

THE RUNWAY
Javelin throwers are provided with a runway 4 meters wide and at least 30 meters in length,
ending in a curved arc

THE COMPETITION
 Unlike the other throwing, the technique used to throw the javelin is dictated by IAAF
rules and "non-orthodox" techniques are not permitted.
 The javelin must be held at its grip and thrown overhand, over the athlete's shoulder or
upper arm.
 Further, the athlete is prohibited from turning completely around such that his back faces
the direction of throw
 Like the other throwing events, the competitor may not leave the throwing area (the
runway) until after the implement lands.
  The javelin is thrown towards a "sector" covering an angle of 29 degrees extending
outwards from the arc at the end of the runway.
 A throw is legal only if the tip of the javelin lands within this sector, and the tip strikes
the ground before any other part of the javelin
 Competition rules are similar to other throwing events: a round consists of one attempt by
each competitor in turn, and competitions typically consist of three (3) to six (6) rounds.
 The competitor with the longest single legal throw (over all rounds) is the winner; in the
case of a tie the competitors' second-longest throws are also considered.
 Competitions involving large numbers of athletes sometimes use a "cut": all competitors
compete in the first three rounds, but only athletes who are currently among the top eight
or have achieved some minimum distances are permitted to attempt to improve on their
distance in additional rounds (typically three).

E. APPLICATION:
ALTERNATE RESPONSE: Write true if the statement is TRUE and write FALSE in the
statement is FALSE
1. The athlete may touch top or outside of the circle or stop-board, or the ground beyond the
circle.

2. An attempt is considered a foul if the athlete touches the top or outside of the rim during the
throw.

3. Rules in throwing javelin is dictated by the IAAF.

4. Unlike the other throwing events, the competitor in javelin event may leave the runway before
the tip strikes the ground.

5. For the athlete not slip the discus may use chalk in hands.

GENERALIZATION:
Throwing events can be dated backs to prehistoric period wherein they use it for hunting, for
protection and war. In measuring the throw is by measuring it through the mark where it landed
going to the arc of the run way and in the circle.
