how far can the average human throw a shotput

The average human’s ability to throw a shot put depends on various factors, including their strength, technique, and athleticism.

For an untrained male, a reasonable estimate for a shot put throw would be around 6-8 meters (20-26 feet).

For an untrained female, the average throw distance would be around 4-6 meters (13-20 feet).

However, for a trained athlete, the distances can be significantly higher:

– For a high school male athlete, the average throw distance is around 10-12 meters (33-39 feet).
– For a high school female athlete, the average throw distance is around 8-10 meters (26-33 feet).
– For a collegiate male athlete, the average throw distance is around 14-16 meters (46-52 feet).
– For a collegiate female athlete, the average throw distance is around 11-13 meters (36-43 feet).
– For an elite male shot putter, the average throw distance is around 20-22 meters (66-72 feet).
– For an elite female shot putter, the average throw distance is around 18-20 meters (59-66 feet).

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and actual throw distances can vary significantly depending on individual factors.
