Athletics is composed of sports involving

running, walking, jumping and throwing. It is


a group of sports divided mainly in what is
popularly known as track and field and it has
been played centuries ago in a sports
competition.
The name “Athletics” is derived from the
Greek word which means “athlos” meaning
contest.
Dating back to the Ancient Greeks, athletics
was only the competition to be held in the first
Olympic Games in Athens in 776 BC. At that
time, it was called the stade, a foot race which
covered the Athenian Olympic Stadium.
TRACK AND
FIELD
Sprints running races are short distance races which
athletes try to run at their maximum speed
throughout the race track, Sprints are part of the
Track and Field discipline and included in all events
of that feature.
The relatively short sprint distances, ranging up
100 to 400 meters, require a sustained top speed.
DISTANCES OF SPRINTS
SPRINTS
- 100 TO 400 meters
MIDDLE DISTANCE
- 800 to 3000 meters
LONG DISTANCE
- including marathon or anything that covers
more than 5000 meters.
Hurdling is a sport in athletics (track and field)
in which a runner sprints and leaps over a series of
hurdles, which are set on a track with specific
distance apart.
It is an event where participants race over to the
finish line while leaping over obstacles along the
way.
The standard
distance is 110 meters
or 100 meters for
women, and 400
meters for men.
- are track events that involve a team of performers.

Relay racing is run as a sprint but instead of one


runner completing the entire distance, there are
teams. One runner will run some of the distance,
passing the baton to the next runner so that the next
runner completes the next set of the track.
The relays involve four runners per
team. There are two standard events,
the 4 × 100 - and 4 × 400-meter relays..

The Jumping events
The Throwing events

- are among the most exciting sports in the world of athletics.


They combine strength, technique, speed, grace, power,
flexibility, and of course, competitiveness.

These two events not only differ in skills needed, but also in
the physical demands they put on athletes.
TWO MAJOR EVENTS.
- The Jumping events
- The Throwing events
The shot is a heavy metal ball which is a putt ( thrown, hence
the name) from the concrete circle. It is held between one
shoulder and the chin, and is thrown with one arm only. It
cannot be held behind the line of the shoulders.

This event is all about transferring huge strength through the


legs, arms, and fingers to throw the shot. There are two
techniques for delivery.
1. The first is the rotational technique
2. linear method which is more popular.
In this athletics throwing
event, the thrower throws
a metal ball attached to a
handle and a straight
wire about three feet long
and a triangular handle
at the other end.
The javelin is about optimum power, speed and rhythm.
Among the four events, it is the only event that requires the
competitor to run in order to build momentum.

The spear itself is made of metal alloy, and has a short point, a
shaft, and a cord grip for when it is held to throwing.
The javelin is
something like a spear
(implement). This
event should be
supervised at all times
to be sure no one is
hurt.
The discus requires power, great speed and lots of
spinning. A discus is plate like or round disc or a
plate that is put together face to face. It is typically
made of plastic and wood with a metal rim.
In this event, it is to see who can
jump the highest without knocking
the bar between two upright poles
landing on the padding on the
other side. A good high jumper will
have explosive speed and a smooth
technique to get over the bar. The
most commonly used method is the
FOSBURY FLOP. (Disk Fosburry -
Back – first landing)
This event is to see who can jump the furthest from
a single jump. The competitors may run of
unlimited length, as long they jump before they
reach the scratch line, if thy touches it the jump
does not count.
Lightning speed, an accurate take-off and an
explosive spring is the secret to the great long
jumping.
Long jumping, is the least
complicated of all field
events. It is formerly called
broad jumping. In long
jump, speed is the most
vital ingredient for a
successful jump.
This event is to see who can jump with three (3)
movement,, The movements must be continous
and carried out in the following order.
• Hop - the landing must be made on the food
used to take off.
• Step - the opposite foot must then be used for
landing as was used to takeoff.
• Jump - any controlled form of landing is
acceptable.
The triple jump is similar to the long jump, it is known
as the hop, step, and jump.
The pole vault may
be the toughest to
master of all field
events. Vaulters
attempt to vault
over a crossbar
placed on uprights,
each height.
• Run tall with your head, neck, and shoulders in
line with your hips.
• Move your arms front-to-back; don’t let them
cross your torso.
• Keep your elbows bent 90 degrees.
• Let your feet land directly beneath you; don’t
try to step too far forward.
• Run with a high knee lift.
• Land on the ball of your foot, as opposed to
your toes.
