   This article examines the role of hammer throw training fields and sports facilities in ensuring a safe and healthy training environment for athletes. The biomechanical loads associated with high-speed rotational movements and heavy implements inherent in the hammer throw discipline require special attention to safety measures during training sessions. Therefore, compliance with regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines that prevent injuries and emergency situations and do not pose risks to athletes’ health is of critical importance in the management of hammer throw facilities. The primary objective of this study is to examine safe physical exercise protocols in hammer throw training and to identify industry standards and practical guidelines aimed at reducing injury risks and life-threatening situations in sports facilities. The research findings contribute to ensuring safety in hammer throw training, protecting athletes’ health, and enhancing training effectiveness.
