| HTS --> Warmup |
| By Doug Medernach, Throws Coach, University of Saskatchewan Warmup is vital to a sucessful throwing workout. It is impossible to throw your maximum distance or to throw without injuries if you are not sufficiently warmed up. General Warmup 1) Easy jog - gets blood flowing to whole body 2) General Mobility Exercises - includes arm circles, trunk twists, crossing your arms in front, hurdlers, and leg sweeps. 3) Accellerations - say 50m. Helps to prepare the body for the more intense workout that is to come. 4) Stretching - Lossen up tight areas, help prevent injury. Specific Warmup This would be your throwing warmup and will depend on the event being thrown. This can include standing throws, phantom throws (no implement), and various drills. For competitions, keep the number of warmup throws to a minimum. When you feel good, stop. This warmup sequence goes from general to specific and from lower to higher intensity. Also, don't be afraid to change up your warmup occasionally. |
