EFFECTIVENESS OF MODERN PEDAGOGICAL METHODS IN TEACHING HAMMER THROW TECHNIQUE BASED ON BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of modern pedagogical methods in teaching hammer throw technique to university students based on biomechanical analysis. A total of 30 students aged 18–22 participated in the study and were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was trained using an improved methodology incorporating step-by-step instruction, video analysis, and individualized feedback. Biomechanical analysis was applied to evaluate movement efficiency and technical accuracy. The results showed a significant improvement in technique execution (15–20%), throwing distance (18–22%), and physical qualities such as strength and coordination. The findings were statistically significant (p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of integrating biomechanical principles into teaching methodology.
