Are you saying movements in the javelin throw are similar to the ones involved in the discuss throw or even the hammer throw? Would you be of the opinion that the athletes in the discuss/hammer throws would benefit more from a long stride just prior to release or to basically develop more quickness/explosiveness in their rotational movements? In your opinion, how is the begining of the stride regarded as a timing mechanism? Do you see it as a domino affect where if you want the last domino to fall at a precise time you must start the first domino at a specific time in order to achieve your goal? Would turning the key to your automobile be considered a timing mechanism related to getting somewhere at a certain time or actually start moving the car be more of a timing mechanism? Do you believe it would be better to figure out at exactly what time you should leave in order to be able to arrive on time without having to exceed the speed limit? Yet, another option would be to leave early then have to wait? In the last scenario, your car has to stop its forward movement in order to wait.
