    1. By looking at the pictures.

    What are the basic


    skills in Athletics?
    Athletics is a sport in which athletes compete
    in running, walking, jumping and throwing
    events.
    Field events are contest in jumping or
    throwing. Athletics is one of the most popular
    sports in the world. About 200 nations belong
    to the International Amateur Athletics
    Federation (IAAF), the governing body of
    athletics.
    2. From what activities do the skills in
    Athletics imitated?
    History
    Running, jumping and throwing have been
    sporting activities since the beginning of
    history. These skills were used both in hunting
    and in war. The Greek, Persians, and Romans
    used running as part of their military training.
    In addition, competitive human instincts led to
    determine who could run the fastest and jump
    or throw the farthest.
    History
    The only event of the first recorded Olympic
    games was footrace of approximately 185
    meters. Soon long jumping and javelin throwing
    were added. These events developed naturally
    from hunting and war.
    Others, like the hammer throw, triple jump,
    and hurdles races , grew out of the ancient
    games, fairs and field days of the Ireland,
    3. Do you agree of a men and women together in an
    Athletic running competition?

    History
    England, and Scotland where men and women
    would vie to determine who was the fastest,
    strongest, and most agile.
    Foot racing were widely popular in England in
    the later half of the 18th century and the first
    half of the 19th century. School and university
    activities began to develop from informal to
    more organized competition.
    History

    EQUIPMENT
    THE TRACK OVAL – playing area for running
    events
    The outdoor track – should measure 400
    meters around ;
    The indoor track have wooden or synthetic
    surface, the preferred measurement for an
    indoor is 200 meters
    Outdoor tracks are divided into lanes . Lane
    should measure from 1.22 to 1.25 meters in
    width.
     1. There are fewer indoor disciplines than
     outdoor ones. Outdoor – 28 ; indoor - 15
     2. The track is shorter indoors.
     Outdoor – 400m; indoor 200m
     3. Distances are mostly shorter indoors.
     100 meters becomes the 60 meters; 400,
     800 and 1,500 remain5,000 becomes the
    3,000. The 200, 5,000 and 10,000 don't
    happen indoors at the world championship
    level; neither does the marathon and there's
    no steeplechase,
     4. There are fewer throwing events.
     Outdoors, you have javelin throw, hammer
    throw, discus throw and shot put. Indoors,
    it's shot put.
     5. Times are generally slower indoors.
    THE INFIELD - the playing area for throwing
    events
    The field includes runways for the jumping
    events. It has circular areas of materials such as
    concrete or asphalt for most of the throwing
    events.
    5. What can be a replacement of
    the starting pistol particularly in
    the lower level of competition?

    2. Hurdle
     Barrier used as an obstacle in certain track events;
    it is placed at regular intervals on the circuit and
    its height varies depending on the event.

    3. Starting pistol
     Firearm used by a judge to signal the start of a
    race by firing blanks into the air.

    4. Baton
     Small, very light wooden or metal stick that is
    passed from one runner to the next during a relay
    race.
    6. What do you think is the
    purpose of the starting block?

    5. Starting Blocks
     Most starting blocks consist of
    foot pads that runners can
    adjust based on their preferred
    starting position.
    6. Discus
     The discus event features the
    use of a rounded disc. Rules
    specify the discus be made of
    wood or other similar material
    with a metal rim, and may be
    either solid material or hollow.
     6. Javelin
     javelin weigh between 400 and 800
    grams, with a minimum length of
    750 millimeters and a maximum
    length of 1060 millimeters. Made of
    metal or other similar material, with
    four main parts: the head, shaft, tail
    and cord grip to aid the player in
    throwing.

     7. Shot
     The ball, known as the “shot,” is
    made of solid metal and may have a
    latex covering on the outside to
    assist competitors with their grip.
    For men’s competition, the shot
    weighs 7.26 kilograms. For women,
    the shot weighs 4 kilograms.
    8. Spike shoes racing shoes
    used by athletes when racing
    on the track. Spikes will allow
    you runners the slippery
    track surface safely.
    Note that there are also rules
    in using the spike shoes.
    9. Uniform
     Flags to indicate track condition and to
    communicate important messages Typically, the
    starter, sometimes the grand marshal of a race,
    waves the flags atop a flag stand near the
    start/finish
     Green Flag – The green flag means that everything
    is ok and you can go ahead and enjoy your lap until
    you’re told otherwise.
     Yellow Flag – The yellow flag simply means danger
    ahead. When you see it, slow your speed down and
    do not overtake.
     Red Flag – A flag none of us wish to see. You will
    normally see the red flag when there has been an
    incident on the track that has a good chance of
    affecting other riders.
     If they all started from the same
    line, then the athletes in the outer
    lanes would have to run further
    than the athletes in the inner
    lanes, because of the semicircles
    at the top and bottom of the
    track.

     So each lane has to have a special


    starting position so they all have
    to run the same distance.
    TRACK EVENTS
    1. Sprints – short races requires speed
    2. Distance races – require endurance
    3. Steeple chase and hurdles – runners must
    go over barriers.
    4. Relays – involve a team runners.

    2 KM WALK
    Hurdles
    Steeplechase, in athletics (track-
    and-field), a footrace over an
    obstacle course that includes such
    obstacles as water ditches, open
    ditches, and fences. The sport dates
    back to a cross-country race at the
    University of Oxford in 1850.
    Relays
    A relay race is a track and field event in which
    athletes run a pre-set distance carrying
    a baton before passing it onto the next runner.
    Often, a relay team is a team of four sprinters.
    In athletics, the two standard relays are the
    4x100 meter relay and the 4x400 meter relay.
    Traditionally, the 4x400 meter relay finals are the
    last event of a track meet.
    3.Hurdles
    is the act of running and jumping over an obstacle
    at speed. In these events, a series of barriers known
    as hurdles are set at precisely measured heights and
    distances which each athlete must pass by running
    over. Failure to pass over, by passing under, or
    intentionally knocking over hurdles will result in
    disqualification. Accidental knocking over of hurdles
    is not caused for disqualification
    110 meters hurdles for men,
    100 meters hurdles for women
    400 meters hurdles (both sexes)
    Relays
    The runner finishing one leg is usually required
    to pass on a baton to the next runner while both
    are running in a marked exchange zone.
    4. Jumping events
    a. Long Jump- The long
    jump facility includes a
    runway, a take-off board
    and a landing area. The
    long jump is a track and
    field event in which
    athletes combine speed,
    strength and agility in an
    attempt to leap as far as
    possible from a take off
    point.
    4. Jumping events
    b. High Jump - 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.
    4. Jumping events
    c. 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. The
    competitor runs down the track and performs
    a hop, a bound and then a jump into the sand
    pit.

    d. Pole vaulting
    a track and field event in which a person uses
    a long flexible pole (which today is usually
    made either of 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 Olympic
    Games since 1896 for men and since 2000 for
    women.
