		In the hammer throw, the distance thrown is determined by the velocity of release, the angle of release, the height of release and air resistance, and is represented by the relationship in equation (see also Figure 1, next page).
		Throws with lighter implements are useful for developing the speed movement pattern of the throw (neuromuscular co-ordination), but they demand a lower power level in comparison with the competition implement (Bartonietz 1987).

		This event, born of ancient traditions, initially took the form of a free style run from which a rigid hammer was thrown (a wooden handle with a cast iron ball on the end).
		In 1887 the weight of the hammer was fixed at 16 pounds (7.26kg) with a wire, of between 1.175m and 1.215m in length attached to a grip, replacing the wooden handle.
		The utilisation of a concrete base for throwing increased the possible speed of rotation and the use of wolfram and tungsten for the head of the hammer - thereby reducing the diameter (minimum today is 110mm) - helped increase the distances thrown from the 1950s.

		Because of the complex technical movements involved in throwing the hammer and contemporary high performance standards, athletes must have coaching at a much earlier age than presently is the practice in the United States.
		All available evidence supports the belief that when learning complex technique movements, whether it be in gymnastics, diving, figure skating, classical dancing, playing a musical instrument, or throwing the hammer, the earlier a youngster is systematically coached in these activities the more accomplished he or she will become as an adolescent and adult.
		Moreover, the recent development of soft landing practice hammers, which cannot be thrown as far, are safer, and flatten on impact, greatly reduces the safety and field damage issues as deterring factors for throwing the hammer.
