Description
The long-term and gradual preparation of youth for top athletic performances in adulthood is the goal of the Youth Athletics series, and thus this volume focused on throwing disciplines. The book is based on essential theoretical foundations and first addresses the individual components of performance. Subsequently, with the help of numerous illustrations, it comprehensively explains the phases of athletic training in four throwing disciplines—shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw—and complements them with a practical training program for youth aged 15 to 19. One of the main topics of the publication is the planning and periodization of training—besides tips on the structure of the training and competition year, it is enriched with numerous sample weekly training plans.
