Track and field athletics is a collection of sports events that involve running, throwing, jumping and walking. Organized athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC, and most modern events are conducted by the member federations of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The athletics meeting forms the backbone of the modern Summer Olympics, and other leading international meetings include the IAAF World Championships and World Indoor Championships.

Q. I have been following the track and field athletics championship broadcasts from Osaka. Every time I watch 100m or 200m, it seems that athletes slow down before the finish line. Why is that?

If they slows down the next one in the pack will overtake. May be who are in the behind slows down when the runners in the front crosses the line. What I have seen was that they lung forward at the line to get the extra few millimeters. What you have seen could be an illusion. Answered by Dinky - Thu Aug 30 07:02:05 2007 Why does Y!

Q. I understand long distance and short distance running are different. But, usually, for school athletics (track and field) I would specialise in short distance sprinting 100m and 200m and I have never considered myself a good long distance runner. But as of late (past month or two) I have been training longer distances (longer than my 100m and 200m anyway) such as 1-5km and I have noticed I cannot sprint as fast as before. I know it is because I have been training my muscles to get used to the oxygen intake whilst running longer distances and my fast twitch muscles may have weakened. I want to improve on my short distance times and be faster but I also want to increase my overall fitness and stamina so I run longer distances but I also… [cont.] Asked by lichard - Sat Apr 4 11:26:19 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments From Yahoo Answer Search: "Athletics (track and field)" |
