Takeaways

• 😀 Shot put is an athletics event where the goal is to push a heavy spherical object (shot) as far as possible.
• 😀 The 'Gaya Ortodok' or 'side-arm style' is a technique used in shot put, where the shot is pushed, not thrown.
• 😀 The shot put ball weights vary by category: Junior Women (3kg), Junior Men (5kg), Senior Women (4kg), Senior Men (7.25kg).
• 😀 To hold the shot correctly, spread five fingers and place the shot at the base of your fingers, ensuring a gap in the palm.
• 😀 The starting position requires the shot to be placed under the chin on the right side, with the body leaning right.
• 😀 The feet should be positioned correctly: the right foot shifts to the starting position, and the left foot moves forward.
• 😀 Body rotation is essential in the shot put technique, with the torso turning to face the front while pushing the shot.
• 😀 The push of the shot should be done with the right arm, extending fully during the throw and reaching about a 45-degree angle.
• 😀 After the push, the right leg moves forward to maintain balance and ensure the shot is launched properly.
• 😀 Practicing with modified equipment (lighter or smaller shots) and using marked areas can help athletes adjust to the weight and technique.
• 😀 Common mistakes include stepping outside the circle or crossing the line, which results in a failed throw.
• 😀 Exiting the shot put area should be done through the back half of the circle, not the front, to avoid disqualification.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the shot put technique in athletics?

The shot put technique is used to propel a spherical object (shot) as far as possible from the throwing area using proper form and strength. The goal is to achieve maximum distance with correct execution.

How is shot put different from other throwing events in athletics?

Shot put is different because it involves 'pushing' or 'throwing' the shot, which is a heavy spherical object, rather than swinging or releasing it like in other throwing events such as javelin or discus.

What are the key mistakes athletes should avoid during the shot put throw?

Athletes should avoid swinging their arm as if throwing a ball, which is incorrect. The correct motion involves pushing or 'shoving' the shot with the whole body, while maintaining a stable and controlled movement.

What equipment is used in the shot put event?

The primary equipment for shot put is a heavy iron ball, known as the 'shot'. The weight varies depending on the athlete's category: 3 kg for junior girls, 5 kg for junior boys, 4 kg for senior girls, and 7.25 kg for senior boys.

How should an athlete position their body before initiating the shot put throw?

Before the throw, the athlete should tilt their body slightly forward, with the right leg bent and the left leg straight. The body should face sideways to the throwing sector, with the right hand holding the shot and the left hand relaxed for balance.

What is the importance of the hand positioning when holding the shot put?

The hand should be placed such that the shot rests at the base of the fingers, with the palm open enough to create a small gap. This ensures better control, balance, and a stable push during the throw.

What are the key steps in executing the shot put throw using the orthodox style?

The key steps include: 1) Positioning the shot at the neck just under the chin. 2) Moving the right leg back and bending it while the left leg remains straight. 3) Shifting weight to the right leg and initiating a push using the body’s rotation. 4) Completing the throw by pushing the shot forward, keeping the arm straight and wrist engaged.

How does the athlete's body move during the shot put throw?

The body moves in a sequence: First, the athlete shifts weight and rotates the body. Then, the torso faces forward, and the left arm swings to aid the push. Finally, the shot is pushed forcefully while maintaining a stable base with the legs and avoiding stepping out of the circle.

What should be avoided when setting up the shot put throwing area?

The main mistake to avoid is stepping over the boundary or crossing the throw sector line after making the throw. Athletes should exit the circle from the back, and not from the front or side.

How can a modified training area for shot put be created?

To create a modified training area, mark the center of the area with chalk, then use a string or rope to outline a circle of approximately one meter radius. This helps simulate the throwing sector for practice without needing an official shot put ring.
