How does screaming help Olympic “throwers”?

264 viewsOtherPhysics

I notice that “throwers” of the shot put, discus, hammer throw etc. let out a big scream as they finish their throw. How much does it help, is it “necessary”, and would there be a big difference in result if they didn’t scream?

Go to the gym and try to lift the heaviest weight you possibly can (safely) while:

– Exhaling

– Inhaling

Try it four times, with one rep inhale/exhale quickly and one slowly.
