The Throws :

The throws-discuss, javelin, shotput and hammer.

All throwing events use only one arm. In that arm, only a few muscles are used all the time, and in the long run, the imbalance between the overused and underused muscles gives trouble. In throwing the discuss, for example, the palm of one hand is constantly folded, and the other palm is not used. The muscles on the palm are always compressed. The arm that throws is used with a violent fling, and this overstretches the outer triceps and the deltoid junction, and the bottom of the inner armpit area along with the chest. In course of time the muscles become loose. If stretched over the head, the used arm will move better than the unused arm. The trapezius and the lattisimus dorsi are also over streched making the used shoulder and the side of the neck appear longer and broader. The real discrepancy is seen when such an athlete performs the asanas.

Movements to stretch the palm and improve blood circulation are essential. The athlete will benefit if training is given to both sides of the body. Asanas like adho mukha svanasana, hand stand , elbow balance, sarvangasana, with its variations in arm positions, different kinds of balancing postures, are all useful for the athlete to redress imbalance of usage. Not to be omitted are the backbends which exercise the shoulder joints in various positions, removing discrepancies of stretches.

The javelin thrower suffers similar to the discuss thrower. The biceps are more strained in this event, the angle of throw being different. The shoulder joint is violently pulled from the socket along with the scapular muscles. In the discuss throw , the scapular muscles suffer from a semicircular strain while, in the javelin, they suffer a linear pattern of strain.

The asanas that help the javelin thrower are the same as for the discuss event.

The shotput throw is the one that gives the maximum strain to the shoulder joint and associated muscles and ligaments. The heavy fling causes overstretching of the ligaments and muscles.

In the hammer throw as both the hands are more or less involved the strain on a single hand is less. Yet the shoulder is dragged forcibly.

The most common problem in all these events is that of the spine being rotated always to the right. The excessive strain on the facet joints results in an uneven and premature wear and tear and a scoliotic deformity. Lateral bends and twisting asanas are useful to prevent the strain on the sprain and maintain healthy evenness of usage. Pranayam with emphasis on exhalation, is important as the throw will be easier during the exhalation.
