  • Anthropometric model of top junior male and female javelin throwers
    Čoh, Milan ; Jošt, Bojan ; Žvan, Milan
    The purpose of this study was to find the anthropometric characteristics of elite junior javelin throwers on a sample of eleven male and twelve female finalists of the European Junior Championship in ... Athletics (MEPA 98). The chosen subjects were measured with a set of nine anthropometrical variables, according to the methodology prescribed by the International Biologic Program. The results show that no common constitutional type of a junior male or female javelin thrower exists, but that the anthropometrical characteristics are very individually defined. At least two constitutional types exist for each gender, ensuring equal success in javelin. Correlational analysis shows that no statistically significant (P<0.05) correlations exist between the individual anthropometrical characteristics of the male and female throwers with their competitive result. Success in this track and field discipline is therefore more a synthesis of anthropometrical characteristics and motor abilities, as well as an optimal technique.
