Juthner reiterates that the use of the ankyle improves the distance of the javelin throw, stating that the distance improved was from an initial throw of 25 meters throwing free hand to a throw of 65 meters using the ankyle in Die Athletischen Leibesubungen der Griechen.
The mean distance the spear was thrown for all subjects, without the ankyle, was 15.94 Â± 2.85 meters. When the subjects threw the spear with the ankyle, the mean distance achieved was 24.00 Â± 4.86 meters, an improvement of 50.5 percent of the mean throw without the ankyle. The Pearson correlation between the types of throws was r = 0.76, p = 0.001. Effect size as Cohenâs d was 0.90, indicating a large treatment effect.
