Training for the hammer throw has traditionally been separated into 2 parts. The primary training method is throwing of the hammer, whereas the secondary/supplementary method involves various strength and conditioning exercises to improve the athlete's fitness levels for throwing performance. The implementation of special stability exercises in the weight room that use the principle of parametric oscillation found in the hammer throw may be an effective way to enhance stabilization skills that may potentially optimize hammer throwing performance. These advanced midsection exercises also might play a role in injury prevention. For a video abstract of this article see supplemental digital content 1 (see video, http://links.lww.com/scj/a206)
