Sample Answer

  • Research indicates that favourable somatotype characteristics (particularly mesomorphic traits) significantly influence initial skill acquisition for power-based skills like javelin throwing.
  • Studies show higher proportions of fast-twitch muscle fibres create genetic predisposition for rapid force production necessary for effective javelin technique.
  • Research demonstrates that natural strength-to-weight ratios affect the rate of skill acquisition, with learners possessing advantageous ratios progressing more rapidly through initial movement pattern development.
