mittausnormit

Mittausnormit, also known as the average out prendograms, are a widely used reference system in athletics, particularly in the measurement of throwers' techniques. The system involves measuring the athlete's approach, takeoff, and landing points, to assess the optimal positions for maximum performance.

The Mittausnormit originated in Finland, where it was developed as a tool for coaches and trainers to evaluate and improve athletes' techniques, particularly in sports such as javelin and shot put. The system provides a standardized reference, allowing coaches to compare athletes across different age groups and levels of competition.

The measurements are taken from a diagram, known as a Mittausnormi, which is divided into sectors representing the different phases of the throw. The sectors are calibrated to indicate the optimal position for the athlete to take the throw. By analyzing the athlete's trajectory and position in relation to the Mittausnormi, coaches can identify areas for improvement and provide targeted feedback to the athlete.

The Mittausnormit has been adopted globally, and is widely used in athletics training programs and competitions. Its application extends beyond throwers to other sports, such as long jump and triple jump, where technique evaluation is critical to performance. While the Mittausnormit is not a mathematical formula, it provides a practical reference system for coaches and athletes to work with, helping to refine techniques and achieve consistent results.
