Also know, what makes a good javelin throw?
The average maximum run up speed of an elite thrower ranges from 5-6m/s (20km/h), but elite throwers release the javelin at 28-30m/s (100km/h) so most of the final release speed is created in the “whole body” action of the final two steps.
Subsequently, question is, is javelin throwing dangerous? In addition to throwing arm injuries, young javelin throwers may suffer a spine fracture, spondylolysis, due to the hyperextension of throwing or weight lifting.

Shot put, sport in athletics (track and field) in which a spherical weight is thrown, or put, from the shoulder for distance. It derives from the ancient sport of putting the stone. The first to use a shot (cannon ball) instead of a stone competitively were British military sports groups.
