400M SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT
❑ In the race, after the acceleration phase, it is important for the
sprinters to run in as relaxed a mode as possible up to the 250-
300m mark, when the 2
lactid acid starts building up.
SCORING
❑ From then on, the aim is to lose as little as possible.
❑ The best lanes are 3,4,5 and 6.
❑ The bends for the athletes in the inner lanes are tight while those in
2 RULES AND REGULATIONS
outer lanes can't see their competitors.
❑ The 400m is a lot about sprint endurance and the runners undergo
a lot of lactic acid training in order to cope with the last 100m of the
race.

the 3000m (7.5 laps) is a race that requires decent speed, but

or some other suitable material.
The width of the hurdle is between 46.5

than 22 lbs.
Counterweights are attached to the base

and not more than 8.8 lbs is required to

 ATHLETICS
ATHLETICS
RUNNING EVENTS: ❑ HURDLES
TRACK AND FIELD
Men run 110m while women run 100m hurdles.
❑ The height of the hurdles is 106.7cm for men and 83.8cm for women
(400m: 91.4cm for men and AND
SKILLS 76.2cm for women).
EQUIPMENT
❑ There are 10 hurdles in all the three races.
❑ Technique: the runner needs to pass as close to the hurdles as possible,
because a runner loses speed in the air.
2 SCORING
❑ The most important thing is for hurdlers to quickly find their optimal
running frequency and for them to maintain a constant centre of gravity.
❑ In the 100m/110m races most hurdlers take three strides between the
hurdlers while in the 400m race 2most take RULES AND REGULATIONS
13 strides between hurdles.

❑ The thrower then rotates one and half times, accelerating all
the while before delivering the throw.
❑ When the discus leaves the hand, it can be done either with a
foot switch, which means that the thrower swivels around
one more time on one leg after the throw.
❑ Or it can be without a foot switch, which means that the
thrower finishes the throw standing still on both feet.

❑ At the end of a run-up, the men attain a speed of 7.5 m/s
while the women gain a speed of 6.5m/s.
❑ In terms of technique, the most important movement for a
right hand thrower is a quick stop with the left foot and a
delayed arm movement so as to get the whole body behind
