Abstract
The most important arena of competition in various sports fields is the Olympics, and the highest level of human movement performance is performed by elite runners in various disciplines of this sport. Therefore, the present project was set up with the aim of presenting and implementing a model for monitoring the performance of Olympic athletes. The dominant approach of this project was to examine the biomechanical aspects of sprinting and discus throwing, and it was conducted as a case study on two Iranian elite Olympic athletes (Ehsan Haddadi, the Asian discus record holder, and Hassan Taftian, the Iranian sprint record holder).
Based on the available videos and information from Taftian, a comparative analysis was done, which showed that the starting technique of this runner in 2018 has had positive changes compared to 2013 and has been modified. In addition, the kinematic variables of the lower limb joints and spatio-temporal variables in the key moments and phases of the start phase of this runner along with the information related to several elite runners in the world were presented and discussed in several tables and graphs. To study the performance of Haddadi's discus throw, videos of his 15 spin throws in a training session were analyzed and the information extracted. The times allocated to the different phases of skill execution were calculated and described, and some important kinematic indicators, including the angles of the effective parts of the body, as well as the path and speed of the disc movement during the rotation, were determined and analyzed along with the available information from several other elite throwers.
Considering the elite level of the athletes participating in this study, the information provided can be a valuable basis for coaches and athletes who take steps in the path of improvement. The ubiquity of running and throwing skills in daily life and all kinds of movements and sports that humans do, doubles the value of such researches that deal with the highest level of human performance.
