What are the methods to develop specific speed in javelin throwing, and why is it important to avoid using implements that are too light?
Specific Speed For specific speed: The athlete can use under-weight implements e.g., a shot with a hole drilled through. The lighter implement (not more than 15% lighter) will give the athlete the experience of throwing distances to which he aspires. Too light implements will cause elbow injuries and destroy his timing for the event.
