Record 2 2010-07-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Track and Field
DEF

Technique in the last part of the follow-through in shot put, hammer and discus throws, used to gain body balance and to avoid fouling by stepping on or outside the circle (i.e. a recovery mechanism following the release of the implement).

CONT

After the shot has left the hand, a quick movement reversing the position of the feet transfers the body weight on to the right foot. An extension of this foot tends to stop the forward motion of the body, and in turn prevents a foul.

OBS

The term "reverse" is most commonly used.

OBS

Technique/tactics - throwing events.

Key term(s)

La jambe gauche est portée en arrière pendant que la droite, vivement placée contre le butoir, fléchit et que le tronc se casse, arrêtant ainsi le mouvement vers l'avant et permettant de rétablir l'équilibre.
