What is It
Being physically active permits the body systems to function properly with
alertness and energy. Remaining in shape permits a person to efficiently and
effectively perform his/her daily tasks that will lead to better output and
performance.
ATHLETICS
Brief History
Track and field was introduced to the Filipinos by the Americans. It was
warmly accepted as one of the events for competition. Athletics, as part of the local
competition, was governed by the Philippines Athletics Track and Field Association.
It followed the rules of International Amateur Athletic Federation as a world
governing body for track and field athletics. Because of its worth and value, it was
included as a subject in the Physical Education.
Events in Athletics
Running Event

Jumping Events Throwing Events
Running events are played in an oval. It has eight lanes and the inner most
lane measures 400 meters. The seven other lanes are appropriately marked to
indicate the 400-meter distance and the exceeding land measurement.
The surface of the oval is even and levelled, covered by mixture of sand and
cinder, some are combination of asphalt and synthetic rubber. The modern
running tracks are made out of synthetic rubber like materials.

Body position of the sprinter
Can you be both a sprinter and a distance runner? Not really. For sure, you
can do both activities for recreational purposes and overall fitness. However, your
training routine and your genetics shall eventually determine what you are best at.
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. According to National Academy of Sports
Medicine (NASM), the same goes for powerlifters, bodybuilders and other strength
athletes. Fast-twitch fibers can produce more force in a shorter time than slow-
twitch fibers. Also, sprinters are naturally more muscular and have a bigger build
than long-distance runners.
The relatively short sprint distances, ranging up to 400 meters, require a
sustained top speed. Originally all sprinters start from a standing position, but in
the 1880s the crouch start was invented, and it became a rule that sprinters must
start with both feet and both hands on the track. The introduction of the adjustable
starting block aided the quick start which is critical in the sprints.
Endurance athletes or long-distance runners have 90 to 95 percent slow-
twitch muscle fibers. According to American Council on Exercise, slow-twitch fibers
10
are slighter and less powerful but more resilient to fatigue than fast-twitch fibers.
So, they rely on oxygen to function properly. Slow-twitch muscle fibers are well
suitable for long-duration aerobic activities.
Note:
Short sprint distances, ranging up to 400 meters must start with both feet and
both hands on the track (crouch start).
The Hurdles
What Is A Relay?
11
The relays involve four runners per team. There are two standard events, the
4 × 100- and 4 × 400-meter relays. They are both included in local meets, in
Olympic Games, and IAAF World Championships. 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.
Rules of a Relay
➢ 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
In the high jump event, the athlete must run in the start and must jump
over a bar without knocking it over. They land on a big soft cushion. Being able to
jump high without knocking the bar is advantage to win the game. 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
12
on their back.
Long Jump
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 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.
Pole Vault
The pole vault may be the toughest to master of all field events. Pole-
vaulting 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.
The vaulter runs down the track holding a pole at one end. After planting the
end of the pole in a metal box in the ground level, the vaulters propel themselves
up and over a high bar using both a jump and the spring to gain height. They must
get over the bar without knocking it off.
13
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
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 is the place where you can throw stuff for
distance as a real sport. There are four major throwing events outlined below.
Discus
14
components - speed, technique, and strength. The thrower that throws the farthest
inside the sector area and without committing any violation wins.
Javelin
Shot Put
Shot is piece of spherical iron ball that is thrown from a concrete circle that
is seven feet in diameter. The front of the circle has a metal board called a toe
board or stop board. The thrower cannot touch the top of the stop board or step
15
over it during the throw. The thrower holds the shot close to his/her neck in one
hand.
1. Slide or "glide"
2. Spin or rotational
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. The hammer is thrown from a
concrete circle 2.15 meter in diameter (just like the shot put) but there is no toe
board or stop board. Like the discus and the shot put, the thrower must stay in a
circle until the hammer lands. The thrower rotates several times to gain
momentum prior to releasing and throwing the hammer. 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.
