This study investigates the impact of release angle and release speed on javelin throw distance, focusing on elite performances at the Paris Olympics 2024. The objective was to determine the extent to which these variables influence throw distance and to identify optimal conditions for maximizing performance. Using data analysis methods, the study found a strong positive correlation
(0.90) between release speed and throw distance, establishing speed as the primary determinant of throw outcomes. In contrast, release angle exhibited a weaker correlation (0.14) with distance, suggesting that while a consistent angle is beneficial, it does not significantly influence distance in isolation. A combined regression model indicated that an optimal throw strategy emphasizes
maximizing release speed with a stable angle range of approximately 30–35 degrees. These findings provide valuable insights for training programs, guiding athletes and coaches in refining techniques to enhance performance. Future research may expand on these findings by examining other biomechanical variables and environmental conditions.
