The shot is released at the optimal moment when the body is in a fully extended position, generating maximum force and distance. The glide technique allows the shot put thrower to effectively transfer their body's momentum into the shot, enabling greater distances in the throw. It requires a combination of balance, coordination, strength, and technique to execute it effectively.
