Components of physical fitness for the javelinThe components of physical fitness relevant to the javelin throw are listed below, with definitions and applications.Absolute strength“The maximum force that can be exerted at one time , regardless of body weight or measure." This component of physical fitness is necessary when throwing the javelin, when throwing the javelin with the maximum force that can be exerted. Explosive Strength "The ability to exert a maximum force quickly or in a single action." This fitness component is required when throwing the javelin. The action is performed when the throwing arm is pulled back and quickly brought forward to release, strength and speed keeping the javelin in the air for a longer period of time. Elastic force “The ability to exert a force quickly and is calculated as force multiplied by speed.” This is similar to power. This component of physical fitness is applied when throwing the javelin. Flexibility“The range of motion available in a joint. It is determined by two factors: joint structure and muscle elasticity." This component of fitness is required in the javelin when you release the javelin and your body and throwing arm are pulled backwards to gain the strength and power for the throw. Dynamic Strength “The ability to repeatedly exert significant muscular force.” This fitness component is not required for the javelin, as none of the muscles work continuously during the event. Skill Fitness Components The fitness components relevant to javelin throwing are listed below, with definitions and applications. Coordination "The body's ability to link movements together, both with other movements and in relation to an external object such as an opponent or a... middle of paper... training. Progressive overload" The need to increase the training demands of the body to encourage it to adapt further. As I train for weeks and weeks and increase the intensity and frequency, my body will begin to adapt to the continued exposure as a result. Therefore, I will be able to give my best in the real event. Regression/Reversibility “Improved ranges of motion can be achieved and maintained through the regular use of mobility exercises. If an athlete stops mobility training, their range of motion will decrease over time until it reaches that maintained by other physical activities. "Variance" Varying your training will avoid the monotony and potential boredom of performing the same routine over and over again, this also helps to avoid training. "Overtraining" Allowing full recovery from the previous training before more training occurs.”
