Step 1: Holding the shot

Place the shot at the base of your fingers, not the palm. Spread your fingers slightly apart and use your thumb to prevent the shot from rolling off.

Step  2: Starting position

Press the shot to the area of the neck beneath your jaw. Keep your elbow high, so that it appears horizontal to your shoulders. If the shot drops below your shoulder during the put, it will be considered a foul throw.

Stand with your left shoulder pointing at the target and your body facing the direction perpendicular to your shoulder (for right-handers). Keep your feet wide apart, and bend the right leg, so that you tilt backwards. Twist your body so that you face the opposite direction of your target. This is your starting position.

Step 3: Putting the shot

When you are ready, push off with your back foot and twist your hips, and then your body to face the target direction of your put. Extend your arm and propel the shot into distance at a 45 degree angle. When you shoot the shot, flick your wrist in a way similar to how you would shoot a basketball or netball.

Rejected style

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.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Equipment Used

Shot Put: Involves a heavy spherical object called a "shot," typically made of metal, weighing 7.26 kg (16 lbs) for men and 4 kg (8.8 lbs) for women. The athlete must push the shot with one hand.

Discus Throw: Utilizes a disc-shaped object made of wood or metal, weighing 2 kg (4.4 lbs) for men and 1 kg (2.2 lbs) for women. The athlete spins and releases the discus.

2. Technique

Shot Put: The throw can be performed using either the "glide" technique, where the athlete slides back to generate momentum, or the "spin" technique, which involves rotating before releasing the shot.

Discus Throw: Athletes use a spinning technique, where they rotate in a circular motion within a designated circle before releasing the discus. This motion is critical for maximizing distance.

3. Flight Path and Distance

Shot Put: The trajectory of the shot put is more linear and typically arcs less dramatically than the discus. The distance is generally shorter compared to the discus throw due to the heavier weight and pushing motion.

Discus Throw: The discus has a more pronounced and aerodynamic flight path, allowing for longer distances. The athlete's spinning motion contributes significantly to the discus's distance and trajectory.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Grip the Shot Put

Hand Position: Hold the shot put in your dominant hand, with your fingers spread comfortably around the ball.

Palm: Your palm should be underneath the shot, supporting its weight, while the shot rests on your fingertips. This allows for a controlled release.

Wrist: Keep your wrist firm but flexible, allowing for a quick flick during release.

2. Positioning the Shot Put

Shoulder Placement: Place the shot put against your shoulder on the side of your throwing hand. It should rest on your shoulder, close to your neck.

Elbow Position: Your elbow should be bent at approximately a 90-degree angle, pointing outward. This creates a stable base for the throw.

Body Orientation: Stand sideways to the throwing direction, with your non-dominant side facing the target.

3. Stance

Feet Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your dominant foot (the side you’re throwing from) should be slightly behind the non-dominant foot.

Knees: Keep your knees slightly bent to maintain balance and readiness.

4. The Throw

Wind-Up: Start by shifting your weight onto your back foot. As you prepare to throw, bring your shot put side back, away from your target, to build tension.

Explosive Movement: Shift your weight forward onto your front foot while simultaneously extending your legs and hips.

Arm Extension: As you push off the ground, bring your elbow forward while extending your arm to propel the shot put. Use your legs and hips to generate power, not just your arm.

Release: Release the shot put at a 30-45 degree angle, with a quick flick of your wrist at the end of the throw to add spin and distance.

5. Follow Through

After releasing the shot, allow your arm to follow through naturally. This helps maintain balance and control as you finish the motion.

1.What is the difference between putting and throwing?

What's the difference? A throw resembles anything you'd see from a baseball pitcher to a discus thrower. A put is a pressing movement with basically no shoulder rotation. The implement follows a straight path from the neck through the release.

2.An athlete throws a discus from rest to a final angular velocity of 15 rad s^-1 in 0.270 s before releasing it. During acceleration, discuss moves a circular arc of radius 0.810 m . Acceleration of discus before it is released is. A javelin is thrown with an initial velocity v 0 at an angle θ with the horizontal.

3.The shot put is an event in which the participant stands inside a circle and attempts to "put" a weighted ball as far as they possibly can. The "put" is different than a "throw" due to the motion of the arm. it has a history back to ancient times when people threw rocks for distance.

# data[].attributes.body
*The athlete must rest the shot close to the neck, and keep it tight to the neck throughout the motion. The shot must be released above the height of the shoulder, using only one hand. The ball is to be put (i.e. pushed), not thrown with an overhead motion. At no time may the shot move behind the plane of the shoulders.

1. what is the style of shot put?

Two putting styles are currently in general use by shot put competitors: the spin and the glide. Initially dubbed the' Oldfield Spin,' the spin technique was invented by Brian Oldfield. To execute the spin, athletes begin by facing away from the putting direction.

2. Grip – sit the shot at the base of the fingers (not in the palm or in the fingertips). The thumb and little finger rest around the sides of the shot and the three middle fingers are at the back. The shot shall touch or be close proximity to the neck or the chin.

3. According to the internationally applicable athletics rules, the shot (a heavy spherical ball) is pushed from a concrete throwing circle with a diameter of 2.135 metres. This circle is bounded in the direction of impact by a curved, white, usually wooden toe board. The solid metal ball should be completely round

4. disqualifications in shot put

The athlete can be disqualified for leaving the circle before the shot hits the ground, or leaving the sector lines. The athlete must not put a foot past the toe board, or it is a disqualification. The athlete must not take longer than 60.00 seconds to take a shot; it is compulsory to put the shot in the given time.

# data[].attributes.body
Shot put

• Object: A heavy spherical metal ball (the shot).

• Weight: For men, the shot typically weighs 7.26 kg (16 lbs), and for women, it weighs 4 kg (8.8 lbs).

• Technique: Athletes use a technique called the "glide" or "spin" to throw the shot. In the glide, the athlete starts from a stationary position and pushes the shot away from the shoulder. The spin technique involves rotating in a circle before releasing the shot.

• Throwing Area: The throw takes place in a circular area (2.135 meters in diameter) with a 7-foot (2.13 m) high stop board at the front.

• Distance: The shot put is typically thrown shorter distances compared to the discus, often exceeding 20 meters for elite male athletes and 18 meters for elite female athletes.

Discus

• Object: A heavy, circular disk (the discus).

• Weight: For men, the discus weighs 2 kg (4.4 lbs), and for women, it weighs 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

• Technique: Athletes use a spinning motion to throw the discus. They rotate within a circular throwing area to generate momentum before releasing the discus.

• Throwing Area: The discus is thrown from a circular area (2.5 meters in diameter) and must land within a sector marked on the ground.

• Distance: Discus throws can reach greater distances than shot puts, often exceeding 60 meters for elite male athletes and around 65 meters for elite female athletes.

Shot Put Grip And Placement

1. Holding the shot put

The shot is held at the base of the fingers, not the palm.

The fingers are slightly spread apart with the thumb for support.

The hand will be bent back in the cocked position when holding the shot.  It looks like you are carrying a pizza.

2. Neck placement

Raise the shot above your head.

Lower the shot straight down until it is under your jaw.

Push the shot into your neck.

Lift your elbow parallel to the floor. Don't squeeze your elbow towards your back.

Check to see that your thumb is pointing down towards your clavicle.

The palm should be pointing towards the throwing direction.

1. The Difference between ‘ Shot Put ‘ & ‘ Discus Throw ‘.                    — Jeslyn, 7 Pythagoras.

# data[].attributes.body
Simply, the difference between shot put and discus throwing is the way you move your arm.

First, let me give you a short explanation on what ‘ shot put ‘ & ‘ discus throwing ‘ are!! :))

Shot put : Shot put is a type of sport where athletes are supposed to throw a round heavy ball as far as possible.

Discus throwing : A type of sport where athletes throw heavy discs that are fixed around 1 kg - 2 kg. The farthest throw wins.

The action of ‘ Shot put ‘ is closer to pushing, unlike discus throwing, you can rarely predict where the item will land, as if you’re pushing something down. This action is also performed with a specific pose before you can execute the action.

Shot put athletes are also required to be heavy. ( Over 72.7 KG. )

As for Discus Throwing, it does not require any specific type of pose, but you will still need a lot of muscle energy due to the heavy disc on your hand. To throw, you do not push. Instead, you swing your arm towards the target / the direction you are supposed to throw your item at.

Discus thrower Athletes are mostly tall, because taller people tend to have longer arms, which helps with throwing to further distances.

Step 1 - How to Hold a Shot Put

The proper placement of the shot in the hand is at the base of the fingers at the top of the palm, with the thumb supporting the bottom of the shot.

This will help the thrower feel the natural balance of the shot in the hand.

Step 2 - Neck Placement

The placement of the shot put on the neck is behind the ear and below the jaw.

Step 3 - Throwing Arm

The throwing arm should be about 90° from the torso. The elbow should comfortably bend so the shot is snug against the neck.

Step 4 - Shot Put Starting Position

The position of the shot in relation to the body before starting the movement should be behind the right heel.

For shot put and hammer throwing, the inner diameter from one inner edge to the other must be 2.135 meters, for discus throwing, however, the throwing circle may have an inner diameter of 2.50 m.

The shot put and discus are throwing events in track and field. The shot put involves throwing a heavy, round metal ball, while the discus involves throwing a heavy round disc.

The shot put is an event in which the participant stands inside a circle and attempts to "put" a weighted ball as far as they possibly can. The "put" is different than a "throw" due to the motion of the arm. it has a history back to ancient times when people threw rocks for distance.

Are shotput and discus the same?

The shot put and discus are throwing events in track and field.

Which one is the easiest shot put or discus throw?

The rotational shot put requires very little wind up when compared to the discus throw. The wind up can cause problems with balance and consistency; therefore, a static start or a minimal wind up is recommended for novice throwers in the rotational shot put technique.

Why is it called shot put ?

It derives from the ancient sport of putting the stone.

Why is it called discus throw ?

The discus throw is an event in which the participant throws a heavy disc, called the discus, into a throwing sector for distance.

Shot put:

Weight: For men, the shot typically weighs 7.26 kg (16 lbs), and for women, it weighs 4 kg (8.8 lbs).

Discus throw:

Weight: For men, the discus weighs 2 kg (4.4 lbs), and for women, it weighs 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

Short overview/explanation:

Shot Put:In shot put, athletes aim to throw a heavy, spherical object called the shot as far as possible. The technique involves pushing the shot from shoulder height, relying heavily on upper body strength and explosive power.

Discus Throw:In discus throw, competitors throw a flat, circular object known as the discus. This event emphasizes a spinning technique that generates momentum, allowing athletes to achieve maximum distance.

1. Athletic Characteristics

-Shot Put:Athletes tend to have a stocky, muscular build, as the event relies on upper body strength and explosive power. Greater mass helps in generating force to push the shot.

-Discus Throw:Athletes tend to be taller and leaner, benefiting from longer arms for leverage and improved mechanics, which aid in achieving greater distance.

2. Equipment

-Shot Put: The shot is a solid, spherical weight (7.26 kg for men, 4 kg for women). Its shape requires a controlled pushing motion from the shoulder.

-Discus Throw: The discus is a flat, circular object (2 kg for men, 1 kg for women) designed for aerodynamics, allowing for spinning techniques to optimize flight distance.

3. Technique

Shot Put: Athletes use a pushing motion, employing either the glide or spin technique to generate force. Balance and body positioning are crucial.

Discus Throw: The technique involves spinning within a circular area to build momentum. Precise timing and coordination are essential for a successful release at the right angle.

Step 1 (Holding the Shot Put)

The shot should be positioned at the base of your fingers, just above the palm. Your thumb should wrap around the bottom for support, allowing for a secure grip that enhances balance during the throw.

Step 2 (Neck Positioning)

Place the shot against the side of your neck, ensuring it sits slightly behind your ear and below the jawline. This positioning provides stability and control.

Step 3 (Arm Orientation)

Your throwing arm should extend outward, forming about a 90-degree angle with your torso. Bend your elbow comfortably so that the shot remains snug against your neck for better leverage.

Step 4 (Setup Position)

Before starting the throw, position the shot behind your dominant foot. This setup helps generate momentum as you prepare to launch.

Step 5 (Weight Transfer)

Shift your weight to your back leg in preparation for the throw. This will help you harness your body’s power as you initiate the movement.

Step 6 (Initiating the Throw)
Push off with your back leg while rotating your hips and shoulders toward your target. This explosive movement is for generating power.

Step 7 (Releasing the Shot)
Fully extend your arm and release the shot at an angle of 30-45 degrees. Ensure you snap your wrist at the release for added propulsion.

shot put and discus throw-each requires a different set of skills and techniques. In this event, track athletes use a heavy metal ball, pushing it from the shoulder using either a glide or spin technique. This does take a great deal of upper body strength and precision to ensure a powerful, straight throw. While shot put is performed with an iron cannonball in a linear motion, discus throwers use a flat, circular disc and a spinning motion, requiring weight balance and timing to release at just the right angle. Both events have rich historical roots and are often considered the centerpiece of the Olympics when it comes to highlighting specific athletic skills, making each event stand out in it’s own right.

The shot put and discus are throwing events in track and field. The shot put involves throwing a heavy, round metal ball, while the discus involves throwing a heavy round disc. The shot put has two main styles; the glide technique and the rotational technique. The discus throw has one main technique with individual variations for each thrower.

# data[].attributes.body
Shot put and discus throw are both track and field events, but they have key differences:

1. Equipment:

- Shot Put: Competitors throw a heavy spherical object called a shot, typically made of metal, weighing 7.26 kg for men and 4 kg for women.

- Discus Throw: Athletes throw a disc-shaped implement, usually made of wood and surrounded by a metal rim, weighing 2 kg for men and 1 kg for women.

2. Technique:

- Shot Put: The shot is typically pushed away from the shoulder using a technique called the "glide" or "spin" method, with the athlete starting from a stationary position within a 2.135-meter-diameter circle.

- Discus Throw: The discus is thrown from a circular area similar in size, but the technique involves spinning the body and releasing the discus in a horizontal flight path.

3. Throwing Style:

- Shot Put: The focus is on explosive strength and power, with a shorter, more direct motion.

- Discus Throw: The emphasis is on technique and timing, as the spin and angle of release greatly affect distance.

4. Distance:

- The distances achieved in both events can vary significantly, with elite male shot putters often throwing over 20 meters, while elite discus throwers may reach distances of over 70 meters.

5. Training:

- Training for each event involves different strength, conditioning, and skill-focused routines tailored to the specific mechanics of the throw.

These differences contribute to the unique challenges and strategies associated with each event.

1. Items in use

Shotput: A Shotput uses a big metal ball that weighs regularly 7 kg from men athletes but for women is usually 4 kg

Discus: A Discus uses a flat circular object that weights around 2 kg for men and 1 kg for women.

1. Techniques

Shotput: A Shotput technique uses the upper shoulder of the Athlete (Man&Woman) and they use the push force, they have to time it right and get the motion right if they wanna get the big score.

Discus: A Discus technique uses a spinning motion, the further the better.

1. Stance

Shotput: The Shotput Stance is feet position right one in the front and left feet on the back but stretched.

1. Shot put is more into pushing while discus throw is more into throwing.

2. The shape of the object thrown/pushed is different, we push a heavy ball in shot put while we throw a heavy disc on discus throw.

3. The formation is different, for shot put we have our shoulders to support the ball’s weight, while discus throw we use all of our fingers to get grip on the disc. In discus throw, when you throw the disc it has to turn counter clockwise, while shot put has no need for any rotation of the ball whatsoever.

Object:

Shot Put: Competitors throw a heavy spherical object called a "shot," typically made of metal. The men's shot weighs 7.26 kg (16 lbs), while the women's shot weighs 4 kg (8.8 lbs).

Discus Throw: Competitors throw a flat, circular object called a "discus," which is made of wood or composite materials. The men's discus weighs 2 kg (4.4 lbs), while the women's discus weighs 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

Technique:

Shot Put: Athletes use either a glide or spin technique to throw the shot. The throw occurs from a 2.135-meter diameter circle.

Discus Throw: The discus is thrown from a larger, 2.5-meter diameter circle. The technique involves a spinning motion to generate centrifugal force.

Trajectory:

Shot Put: The shot is typically thrown in a more vertical arc, resulting in a shorter but higher trajectory.

Discus Throw: The discus is thrown in a flatter arc, allowing it to glide through the air longer and cover more distance.

# data[].attributes.body
Materials Needed:

Shot put (appropriate weight for the athlete)

Shot put circle (or a designated area for practice)

1. Grip the Shot Put:

Hold the shot put with your dominant hand.

Use your fingers to cradle the shot, placing it primarily in the base of your fingers, not your palm.

Your thumb should be positioned on the opposite side for stability, with the shot resting against your neck or shoulder.

2. Position the Shot Put:

Place the shot put against the side of your neck, just below your chin, and above your shoulder.

Your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle and pointing outward, creating a "cannon" position that allows for a powerful push.

Keep your body turned sideways to the throwing area, with your non-throwing shoulder facing the direction of the throw.

3. The Throw (Rejection):

Begin the movement by pushing off your back foot, transferring weight forward onto your front foot.

As you do this, rotate your hips and shoulders toward the direction of the throw.

Extend your arm fully and push the shot put away from your body in a strong, explosive motion.

The release should occur when your arm is fully extended, aiming for a flat trajectory.

Follow through by allowing your arm to continue in the direction of the throw, ensuring a smooth release.

- Keep your knees slightly bent for balance. Rotate your body to face sideways to the direction of the throw, with your non-throwing shoulder forward. Your elbow should be bent, and the shot should remain close to your body.

4. The Throw (Rejection):

- Initiate the Motion: Shift your weight onto your back foot while turning your hips and shoulders away from the target. This winding motion builds potential energy.

- Pivot and Extend: As you pivot on your back foot, push off and rotate your hips forward. Your throwing arm should move in a powerful, fluid motion.

- Release the Shot: At the peak of your extension, release the shot with an upward and outward motion. Your wrist should snap at the end of the throw to add spin and distance.

- Follow Through: Allow your arm to fully extend after the release, maintaining your balance as you finish the throw.

Equipment:

1. Shot put: a heavy spherical metal object called a shot

2. Discus throw: a flat, circular disc.

Technique:

1. Shot put: use either a glide or spin technique, but they remain stationary within a 2.135-meter diameter circle and push the shot away from their neck.

2. Discus throw: a spinning technique, rotating within a 2.5-meter diameter circle to generate momentum before releasing the discus.

Flight Path:

1. Discus Throw: The discus has an aerodynamic design, allowing it to glide through the air and achieve longer distances due to its spin and angle of release.

2. Shot Put: The shot typically follows a shorter, more vertical parabolic trajectory due to its weight and lack of aerodynamic features.
