Running Events
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.
Endurance athletes or long-distance runners have 90

to 95 percent slowtwitch muscle fibers.

The Hurdles
Hurdling is a sport in athletics (track and

track with specific distance apart. Runners
must stay in their respective lanes
throughout the race.
Dimensions: The standard heights of the hurdles shall be:

The Hurdles

Relay
The relays involve four runners per team. There are two standard
events, the 4 × 100- and 4 × 400-meter relays.
The first runner in the 4 x 100- meter relay begins the race in
starting blocks. The next three runners receive the baton in the 30
meters passing and receiving zone. The receiver begins running in
the acceleration zone within the exchange zone (30m). In the
relay, runners should not switch hands when carrying the baton.
Therefore, if the first runner will carry the baton in his right hand,
the receiving hand of the second runner will be left hand, the
receiving hand of the third runner will be right and the final
runner will handle it in his left hand.

Relay
Rules of a Relay
A team may be disqualified from a relay for:
False Starting
Incorrect baton passing
For 4 x 400m illegal switching
Passing of the baton outside the takeover zone
During the race an athlete takes or picks up the baton
of another team
Deliberately impeding, improperly crossing the lane, or
in any other way interfering with another competitor

Jumping Events

High Jump
In this event technique is important, there are many techniques

used for high jump, but the current, and most successful, is called
the Fosbury Flop.
The Fosbury flop technique involves an approach from almost

straight ahead, then twisting on takeoff and going over the head
first with the back to the bar. Jumpers then land on their back.

Long Jump
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.
The most popular long-
jumping style is “Hitch-
kick,” where in the
runner apparently walks
in air.

Pole Vault
The pole vault may be the

toughest to master of all field
events. Polevaulting is quite
similar to high jump. Vaulters
attempt to vault over a crossbar
placed on uprights, each height.
They are given three tries, then
they land on a large soft mattress
for safety.

Triple Jump
The triple jump is similar to the long jump, it is known as the

hop, step, and jump. The jumper will first run down the track
gaining speed; at the start of the jump or take off point they will
jump or spring from one foot and land on that same foot (hop);
next they jump again, at this time
landing on the opposite foot
(step); lastly they jump as far as
they can and land on both feet
(jump) into the sand pit or
landing pit.

Throwing Events

Discus Throw
A discus is plate like or round disc (implement), typically made of

plastic with a metal rim.
To achieve maximum distance in the discus, the thrower shall
maintain these three components - speed, technique, and
strength. The thrower that throws the farthest inside the sector
area and without committing any violation wins.

Javelin Throw
The javelin is something like a spear (implement).
The throw will be considered as foul in the following cases:

- Improper throw of the javelin in the attempt
- Thrower goes out of the marking line while throwing
(continuous motion)
- The tip of the javelin lies outside the edges of the
landing sector.

Javelin Throw
The thrower who throws farthest inside the landing

sector and didn’t commit any violation wins.

Shot Put
Shot is piece of spherical iron ball that is thrown from a

concrete circle that is seven feet in diameter.
There are two common throwing techniques:

1. Slide or "glide"
2. Spin or rotational

Shot Put
The goal is to build momentum and finally push or put the shot
inside the sector landing area. The thrower must stay in a circle
until the shot has landed or else their throw was invalid. The
thrower throws farthest inside the landing sector and without
committing any violation wins.

Hammer Throw
Hammer throw does not actually involve throwing a usual
hammer like you think. In this athletics throwing event, the
thrower throws a metal ball attached to a handle and a straight
wire about three feet long.
Maintaining balance is important due to the force generated by
having the heavy ball at the end of the wire. The thrower that
throws farthest without committing any violation wins.

Official Implements
In all International Competitions, the
implements used shall comply with
current IAAF specifications. Only IAAF
certified implements may be used.
