Strength training for discus throwers

Strength training for discus throwers focuses on building power, stability, and muscular endurance. It involves exercises that develop the core, legs, shoulders, and arms, essential for generating the force needed to propel the discus. Training includes Olympic lifts, squats, deadlifts, and rotational movements to enhance explosive strength and rotational speed. Proper technique and progressive overload are key to avoiding injury and improving performance. This targeted approach helps throwers generate maximum torque and control during the spin and release phases, ultimately increasing throw distance and consistency in competition.
