Sport physiologist wrote:The physiques of javelin throwers range between taller, "swing" types (with BMI as low as 24 kg/m2 and body height as high as 195-200 cm) and shorter "strength types" (with BMI as high as 31-32 kg/m2 and body height in the 180-190 cm range). This dichotomy is not as pronounced as e.g. in runners or jumpers, but it clearly exists.
Zelezny obviously belongs to the "swing" group, although it is true that his body height is ca. 5 cm shorter than in other similar throwers.
Although Zelezny is also an anomaly in other regards, the fact is that the best performing javelin throwers are consistently ca. 192 cm tall, with body weight around 100 kilos and BMI 27 kg/m2.
But why the hell am I telling these things to you? You just knew it, when you were a mere toddler!
the sum total of this drivel is that there is no body-type for a javelin guy apart from having at least above average height
your wasting my time with this nonsense
