EVENTS Triple Jump
Similar to running races, jumping
games seem to be part of our
childhood life. We tend to see how far
and high we can jump and who can do
it best. There are four athletics
High Jump
jumping events. Men and women
compete in four jumping events: the

Pole Vault
high jump, long jump, triple jump, and
pole vault.
Long jumping, is the least complicated of all field
events. It is formerly called broad jumping. Long jump
has been a popular athletics event since Ancient Greece
Olympics. In long jump, speed is the most vital
ingredient for a successful jump. Jumpers make their
approach down the runway at almost top speed, plant a
LONG
JUMP
foot on the takeoff board, and leap into the air. Jumpers
must plant the forward foot not beyond the take-off
board to become legal. The most popular long-jumping
style is “Hitch-kick,” where in the runner apparently
walks in air.
LONG JUMP
 HEALTH RELATED
FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
A long jumper requires great speed and power, flexibility and balance.
The long jump is defined as an athletic event in which the jumper
combines three motor qualities - strength, speed and agility.
The triple jump, sometimes referred to as the hop, step
and jump or the hop, skip and jump, is a track and field
event, similar to the long jump. As a group, the two
events are referred to as the "horizontal jumps". The
competitor runs down the track and performs a hop, a TRIPLE
JUMP
bound and then a jump into the sand pit. The triple
jump was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games and
has been a modern Olympics event since the Games'
inception in 1896.
TRIPLE JUMP

FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
The triple jumper will do a standing hop, then step, then jump upright.
This drill is for building lower body muscle strength and core strength
without adding the speed.
The high jump is a track and field event in which
competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar
placed at measured heights without dislodging it. In its
modern most practiced format, a bar is placed between
two standards with a crash mat for landing. In the
modern era, athletes run towards the bar and use the
HIGH
JUMP
Fosbury Flop method of jumping, leaping head first with
their back to the bar. Since ancient times, competitors
have introduced increasingly effective techniques to
arrive at the current form.

A long jumper requires great speed and power, flexibility and balance.
The long jump is defined as an athletic event in which the jumper
combines three motor qualities - strength, speed and agility.The high
jump is a complex track and field event that requires a unique balance
between strength, speed, power, and technique.
Pole vaulting, also known as pole jumping, is a track
and field event in which an athlete uses a long and
flexible pole, usually made from fiberglass or carbon
fiber, as an aid to jump over a bar. Pole jumping
competitions were known to the ancient Greeks,
Cretans and Celts. It has been a full medal event at the POLE
VAULT
Olympic Games since 1896 for men and since 2000 for
women. It is typically classified as one of the four major
jumping events in athletics, alongside the high jump,
long jump and triple jump.
POLE VAULT
 HEALTH RELATED
FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
For measuring explosive leg power you should conduct the vertical
jump test or standing long jump. Health-related fitness components are
qualities such as muscle strength, muscle endurance and
cardiovascular fitness.
THROWING
EVENTS
 Shot Put
THROWING
EVENTS Discus Throw
It's always fun to see who can throw
something the farthest, whether it's a
ball, or even a rock. These events
necessitate explosive movements.
Power is the
component to be considered. Athletics
Javelin Throw
is the place where you can throw stuff
for
distance as a real sport. There are four
major throwing events outlined below. Hammer Throw
The shot put is a track and field event involving
"putting" (pushing rather than throwing) a heavy
spherical ball—the shot—as far as possible. Shot put is
an athletics sport where people try to "put" a heavy
weighted ball as far as they can. They are not allowed to
throw it, but instead they push the ball out into the air.
They "put" the ball by holding it at their neck and
SHOT
pushing it through the air. The shot put competition for
men has been a part of the modern Olympics since their
revival in 1896, and women's competition began in

1948.
SHOT PUT

FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
It requires good: body composition - shot putters normally have large
amounts of both lean and fat tissue to increase the power generated.
strength - required in the legs to generate the force needed to propel
the shot.
The discus throw, also known as disc throw, is a track
and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc
—called a discus—in an attempt to mark a farther
distance than their competitors. Discus throw is an
athletic discipline with the main objective of throwing an
object with a certain weight in a circular shape known DISCUS
THROW
as a disc, as far as possible. It is an ancient sport, as
demonstrated by the fifth-century-BC Myron statue
Discobolus.
DISCUS THROW
 HEALTH RELATED
FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
To achieve maximum distance in the discus, the athlete will have to balance
three components - speed, technique and strength. Similarly, strength helps
you perform well in sports such as football and wrestling, muscular
endurance is important in soccer and tennis, flexibility helps in sports such as
gymnastics and diving, power helps in track activities such as the discus
throw and the long jump
Javelin throw, athletics (track-and-field) sport of
throwing a spear for distance, included in the ancient
Greek Olympic Games as one of five events of the
pentathlon competition. The javelin throw is a track and
field event where the javelin, a spear about 2.5 m in
length, is thrown. The javelin thrower gains momentum JAVELIN
by running within a predetermined area. Javelin
throwing is an event of both the men's decathlon and
the women's heptathlon.

FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
Muscular strength and endurance are essential in javelin
throwing. Healthy, strong leg muscles are necessary to increase
momentum and achieve the high-intensity sprinting that leads up
to an efficient throw.
Hammer throw, sport in athletics (track and field) in
which a hammer is hurled for distance, using two hands
within a throwing circle. The hammer throw is one of
the four throwing events in regular track and field
competitions, along with the discus throw, shot put and
javelin. The "hammer" used in this sport is not like any

of the tools also called by that name. It consists of a
metal ball attached by a steel wire to a grip.

The hammer throw is a simple event that requires a more
sophisticated combination of brute force, flexibility, agility, and
sure footwork. Hammer throw demands excess strength of
hamstrings, thighs, and hips.
RUNNING
EVENTS
RUNNING
EVENTS Sprinting
Track running events are individual or relay
events with athletes racing over specified
distances on an oval running track. The

Distance Running
events are categorized as sprints, middle
and long-distance, and hurdling. Sprinters
are innately gifted with a larger number of
fast-twitch muscle fibers.
It permits them to execute explosive
movements and participate in high-
intensity
exercise for short period of time.
Sprint, also called dash, in athletics (track and field), a
footrace over a short distance with an all-out or nearly
all-out burst of speed, the chief distances being 100,
200, and 400 metres and 100, 220, and 440 yards.
Sprinting is running over a short distance at the top-
SPRINTING
most speed of the body in a limited period of time. It is
used in many sports that incorporate running, typically
as a way of quickly reaching a target or goal, or
avoiding or catching an opponent.
SPRINTING
 HEALTH RELATED
FITNESS ONE HAS TO
DEVELOP:
A sprinter generally has a developed muscular upper body and
leg strength due to the power exerted whilst sprinting giving
them a mesomorph body- type builds. An increase of body fat
increases risk of injury to the joints and bones and decreases
performance.
Long-distance running, in athletics (track and field),
footraces ranging from 3,000 metres through 10,000,
20,000, and 30,000 metres and up to the marathon,
which is 42,195 metres (26 miles 385 yards). It
includes cross-country races over similar distances. DISTANCE
Olympic events are the 5,000- and 10,000-metre races,
held on a track, and the marathon, contested on roads. RUNNING
Like the middle-distance races (800 and 1,500 metres
in the Olympics), long-distance races are run at a
strategic pace, but less seldom is a final spurt, or kick,
needed by the winning racer.
