The importance of this research lies in analyzing the motion paths of body segments, identifying the values of related variables, and determining the extent of their relationship to performance achievement.
The study aimed to:
- Identify the velocity values of selected motion paths in men’s discus throw.
- Identify the relationship between the velocity values of selected motion paths and the performance achievement of male discus throwers.
The study hypothesized that:
- There is a statistically significant relationship between the velocity of certain motion-path variables and discus throw performance in men.
The descriptive method was adopted using a case-study and correlational approach. The research sample consisted of seven (7) athletes who used the rotational technique, indicating that the sample was selected intentionally.
The study variables included the velocity variables of the motion paths across the four technical stages—preparation, rotation, power position, and release—and focused on the variables of the right side of the body segments.
