Explosive power is a crucial factor in athletic performance due to its connection to the skill-based aspects required in every sport. Therefore, understanding it is essential for guiding research and plays a key role in improving shot put performance for short-statured athletes in category (F40). Biomechanical variables also contribute to shot put performance for short-statured athletes in category (F40) by helping coaches identify, diagnose, and compare technical and motor errors, their components, timing, and speed with the required performance to achieve optimal results. Thus, the importance of this research lies in the researchers' attempt to identify the relationship between the explosive power of the upper and lower limbs and certain biomechanical variables with shot put performance for short-statured athletes in category (F40). The research aims to: identify the explosive power of the upper and lower limbs in shot put performance for short-statured athletes in category (F40); identify certain biomechanical variables in shot put performance for short-statured athletes in category (F40); and establish the correlation between these factors. The study investigated the relationship between the explosive power of the upper and lower limbs and biomechanical variables in shot put performance among short-statured athletes (F40 category). A descriptive approach was used with ten short-statured athletes (F40 category) in shot put performance. Four physical tests and ten biomechanical variables were assessed, in addition to the shot-put performance test. After statistical analysis of the data, a set of conclusions and recommendations were drawn.
