IMPROVING THE TEACHING METHODOLOGY OF HAMMER THROW TECHNIQUE FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The effectiveness of athletics training in higher education largely depends on the application of scientifically grounded teaching methodologies. Hammer throw is one of the most technically complex events in track and field, requiring high levels of coordination, strength, and technical precision. However, traditional teaching approaches used in universities often fail to ensure effective mastery of hammer throw technique.

The purpose of this study was to develop and experimentally substantiate an improved teaching methodology for hammer throw technique among university students. The research employed pedagogical observation, experimental methods, technical performance testing, and statistical analysis.

The results demonstrated that students trained using the improved methodology showed significantly greater improvements in technical execution and performance indicators compared to those trained using traditional methods. The findings confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and its applicability in higher education physical education programs.
