athleticism

definition
Athletics is a sport that contains a
large set of disciplines grouped in
runs, jumps, throws, combined
events and marches. It is the art to
overcome the performance of the
adversaries in speed or endurance,
distance or height.
The number of tests, whether
individual or team, has varied over
time and mentalities. Athletics is one
of the few sports practiced
universally, whether in whole or in
many world amateur competitions at
all levels. The simplicity and the few
means to practice partly explain this
success.

SPEED
100 m is the shortest
race in the calendar of
outdoor activities.
  The current 200 m race
is similar to the length
of the stadium in
Ancient Greece.
400 m has its origin in
the double stage (384
m) test performed in
antiquity.
CAREERS MEDIA FUND AND DISTANCE

The middle distance races are so called

because they compete at intermediate
distances between speed and
background (800-3000 m).
800 m were originally the 880 yards or
half a mile (804.67 m).
1500 m, creating purely continental,
was born around 1890 in France.
Distance running are tests which
distance is greater than 3000 meters.

 Road Running
The marathon was not on the program of the
ancient Olympic Games, but his legend points to the
various stories of Greek mythology, as the story of
the soldier Pheidippides, who ran the distance from
the battlefield to Athens, where He took the news
of the victory. In 1895, the French Michel Breal
convinced his friend Pierre de Coubertinpara
advantage of myth and adapt it to the modern
Olympic Games. Thus, in the first Games of 1896,
twenty-four competitors met in Marathon. The
Greek shepherd Spiridon Louis became the first
winner of this new test. In the London Games in
1908, the British royal family wanted the race begin
in the Castle Windsory that ended against the royal
box of the Olympic Stadium. The journey measured
precisely 42,195 kilometers and later became the
official marathon distance. This endurance race is
disputed by hard way, especially in the streets and
on a flat course.
Hurdling
The obstacle, unlike most athletic
disciplines, have roots in the ancient
sport. Actually, they are a modern
invention again attributed to the
British, who were inspired by
obstacle of racing.
The 400 meter hurdles, relatively
new discipline, was presented at
Oxford in 1860, in the form of about
440 yards.
The 3,000 m steeplechase combine
resistance with jumping fences.
 RELAY
Relay races have their origin in ancient
societies, where speed and endurance
runners to carry messages from one city to
another were very important. But in the
United States it became popular discipline
in a charity race organized by firefighters
from New York. The 4x100m and 4x400m
consist of four athletes per team. The aim
is to cover the distance as fast as possible
while transmitting a wooden or metal
cylinder called witness is guaranteed.
Specialists in these races must combine the
physical capacity of the athlete with the
sense of anticipation and coordination for
delivery. The two relay races in their
current form made their first Olympic
appearance in 1912. The Ekiden is a form of
marathon six, developed in the 1980s, first
in Japan.
Jumps
The pole vault dates back to the
ancient Greek societies, but
developed in the late eighteenth
century in Germany during
gymnastics competitions.
The long jump there in all
competitions since antiquity.
The triple jump is a variant of the
jump.
The jump is of Celtic and Germanic
origin.
 Releases
The launch takes place in the zone
inside an oval .. The same principle is
inspired to launch the ancestral gesture
of the hunter.
The discus is best described by the
Greek athletics event.
Javelin, hunting tool used by ancient
civilizations, and also a weapon used by
many armies of antiquity, is at the
origin of the discipline of javelin.
Combined Events
The decathlon was born in the nineteenth
century in several European countries before
the Irish from exporting the idea to the United
States. We experimented with a championship,
in English "all to round championship," which
consisted of ten successive tests of athletics.
Avery Brundage, future president of the
International Olympic Committee, won three
times the US national competition Played in
two days, the decathlon consists of four races
(100m, 400m, 110m hurdles and 1500m), three
jumps (length, height and pole) and three
throws (shot, discus and javelin). Each
performance points becomes a scale and the
sum of these points determines the
classification.
