tempo for a thrower

Would shorter distances (50m?) of tempo repeats be just as effective for a thrower, as say the 10x100 is for a sprinter? Thanks

In The 2002 Forum Review Ebook Charlie talks about football line men and compares them with throwers and if my memory serves me correctly, yes 50m tempos with similar rest would be sufficient.
