Development of a throwing distance exercise improvement program for first grade elementary school children

Key Points

• This research aims to assess how a specific exercise program can improve throwing distance among first-grade children.
• Compared an experimental group participating in a throwing program to a control group without such a program.
• Focused on age-related growth and instructional influences on throwing distance.
• Used pre- and post-program measurements to evaluate improvements.
• The experimental group showed significant improvements in long-throw distance compared to the control group.
• Age-related differences affected throwing distance but did not hinder the program's effectiveness.
