athletic competitions date back to ancient civilizations. The discipline

its regulation. The calendar is dominated by four types of events:
meetings, meetings between clubs, national championships and the main ones
international events. The Olympic Games are the international event
more prestigious. They have been held every four years since 1896 and athletics is the
most important discipline among them. Since 1982, the International Association
of the Athletics Federations (IAAF), The first World Championship of

measure the distance. It is delimited by white lines that form a certain
angle (29° for the javelin and 34°9 for the other elements that are thrown).

HAMMER THROW: Like other throwing disciplines,
the hammer has evolved over the centuries, both in form and in
the weight.[] Nowadays, for men, the steel ball weighs 7.257
kilograms (16 pounds) and is connected to a steel cable with a handle.

the official standard.[] The 200-meter race with a curve on a 400 m track was
officially recognized in 1958.[] The specialists of this test must
combine the basic speed of a 100m sprinter with a capacity of
estimated acceleration at 130-140 m.
THE 400 m: Athletes running the 400 m distance are divided into two
categories, pure sprinters, with the characteristics of those of 200 meters and
the endurance ones, with characteristics of 800 m runners. Nowadays,
the vast majority of specialists have a morphology similar to that of the
short distance athletes.

skill.
LONG DISTANCE RACES: They are events whose distance is greater than
3000 meters. Of British invention, the 5000 m is an adaptation of the 3

resistance testing experiments took place around 1740 in
London, when an athlete ran the distance of 17,300 km in one hour. These
tests are conducted entirely on the athletics stadium track. The
resistance to fatigue and pain, associated with a good final acceleration are
necessary qualities for long-distance runners.
Hurdle Races
OBSTACLE RACES: Unlike most of the
athletic disciplines have no roots in ancient sport. The history of the
the first official tests of the 110 meters hurdles are in the races of
120 yards (109.72 meters) with ten obstacles of 3 feet and 6 inches (1.06
m), which is the height that is still used today. The 110 meters hurdles, like the

of ten hurdles that must be jumped at a distance of 9.14 m for men and
8.50 m for women.[]
THE 400 METERS HURDLES: Relatively new discipline, The 400
metres hurdles is one of the most technical events in athletics, as it requires
the physical ability of a sprinter and the attention to race pace, and in
specifically the number of steps taken between the ten obstacles.

Recently, the 3000m steeplechase opened up for participation of the

a series of three jumps after the impulse: first on one foot,
then a second jump, always under the same conditions as the first, and
it is completed as in length.[]
THE HIGH JUMP: it is of Celtic origin. The rule is, after taking
impulse, jump over a horizontal bar as high as possible without knocking it down. The
impulse takeoff used by athletes, used by all jumpers in
