Speed of Release. This is perhaps the most important aspect in the range of the throw. The speed of release is a function of how hard you work and for how long, divided by how heavy the load is. To tidy this up: Relase Speed [equals the] Average force [multiplied by] the time of application [divided by] the mass of implement. 3, record 1, English, - speed%20of%20release

La course d'élan est importante : sur une piste qui n'excède pas 36,50 m de long, elle s'achève sur une ligne courbe à ne pas dépasser. Elle permet de donner au javelot une vitesse d'envol en le plaçant sur une trajectoire qui doit être la plus longue possible; pour ce faire, le javelot doit être amené dans une position arrière maximale au moment de placement : c'est la position dite «du double appui», où avant le geste final du lancer, le javelot est pointé vers le haut selon un angle qui varie entre 30° et 40°. 3, record 1, French, - vitesse%20d%27envol
