Abstract

This study aims to enhance the technical training of discus throwers using biomechanical analysis methods and innovative technologies. In a scientific laboratory, the athlete's movement was recorded in 3D space using high-precision OptiTrack cameras and specialized Motive software for their control. Kinematic indicators (joint angles, angular velocity, center of gravity trajectory, and impulse transfer) were determined, and a model of individualized training loads was developed. During the pedagogical experiment, the application of this model resulted in significant improvements in throwing distance, stability during the rotation phase, and energy transfer efficiency (p<0.05). Integration of this methodology into the long-term training system ensures steady performance improvement, reduced injury risk, and adaptation to elite athletes' training standards. The research findings are expected to have practical significance in targeted preparation for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
