During the single support phase two things must occur : the left foot must continue to actively turn and the left leg must collapse. Both of these actions shorten the duration of the single support phase, thus reducing the amount of time the thrower is unable to accelerate the hammer. The less time a thrower spends in the single support phase means more time can be spent accelerating the ball in the double support phase. 2, record 3, English, - simple%2Dleaning%20phase
