Instructional
IXSTRUCTIONAL
These three sound releases were sf'0)tsored by the Men's Chronicle in order to provide correct athletic instruction from the z'ery beginning for the young athletes of this Country. The instruction and commentary is excellently made on the films by Geoffrey Dyson, Chief National Coach to the Amateur Athletic Association. The films sho7i' Mr. Dyso)! coaching a squad of boys and girls and by this means the viewer of the film can feel that she or he is joining in with the class at i)istruction. The films are so well made that audiences of all ages can zcatch and learn the finer points of athletics even if they have no intention of participating on the running track. The aim of the film, as was stated at the beginning, is to assist the young athlete, but zve feel that anyone interested in athletics will be extremely interested in this modern method of coaching athletes to world class.
T/9767 The Young Athlete, Sprinting and Hurdling (2 reels) The first part
this film is devoted to sprinting. By means of demonstration and instruction to the squad the Chief National Coach explains the starting position, accelerating from the start, the arm swing, the sprinting angle and finishing. In the section of the film teaching hurdling, emphasis is given to the fact that this is a sprinting event. To this end the squad are first taught to sprint over canes on the ground v/hich are raised progressively and the necessary modification in technique involving the running action, the lateral swinging of the rear leg, the use of the arms and the forward lean are demonstrated. Throughout the film valuable use is made of the slow motion camera.
T/9768 The Young Athlete, The High Jump (2 Reels) This film shows
that the Vvestern Roll is a method of jumping which can be learned by any boy or girl. First the merits of the layout are made clear and the progressions are shown from the elementary hop to the finished Western Roil as demonstrated by a national champion. Mr. Dyson puts his squad of young people through all these stages of the jump, which they have mastered by the end of the film. Details of technique are brought to light by some remarkable sequence shots in slow inotion and instruction includes both work in the field and in the gymnasium. The film shows many valuable devices for teaching the jump vi^hich will be a great aid to coaches.
T/9769 The Young Athlete, Hozl' to Throzv the Jaz'clin (2 Reels) There
is a greater interest in javelin throwing in Britain now than ever before and many schools have introduced the event into their athletic programme. When boys and girls are shown how^ to throw the javelin correctly, they not only throw it farther, they also derive more fun, enjoyment and real benefit from it. In this film the throwing technique of a junior champion is thoroughly analysed in slo%v motion and suitable leading-up stages for school and club use are clearly defined. Many of the progressions recommended by the Chief National Coach may be used both in and out-of-doors; they cover the hold, carry, running with the javelin, the transition strides from run to throw and the throw itself.
