Ron Clarke with Kipochoge Keino lead the field in the 5000m at the 1968 Olympics. Although Clarke broke several world records he never had success at the Olympics. Story Page 7. NEW YORK MARATHON - A PERSONAL JOURNEY “A first New York Marathon”. GEOFF BARKER (left) relates the experience of training for a major city marathon and what it was like in New York, both on the days just before the race and the immense joy of completing the event. At the prompting of a few people I would like to record my New York 'experience'. Being a late starter to athletics I had actually achieved what my main goal was to complete a marathon less than four hours. Over a few glasses of nice red wine one night I let it slip that a real challenge would be to run in an international marathon and do under four hours. Before I new it I had been dared, challenged, pushed, or cajoled, (I'm not sure which), into doing the New York Marathon. Having accepted the invitation to 'take it on' I became very enthusiastic, especially as I had been happy with my Canberra Marathon effort, and developed great ideas of 'doing really well'. I drew up my 16- (Continued on Page 4) CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE JANUARY HANDICAPS SPRINT MARATHON RELAY The 2003 Sprint Marathon Relays The January handicaps that were reason for the change is due to a clash are on Sunday, February 9 at the Deek scheduled for the Molonglo Reach with the Triathlon Association's Recreation Area.

Western Michigan University, 1992 The study investigated the degree to which predicting performance in track and field relates to individual performances of track athletes. Predictive scores were determined for 26 male and 14 female athletes using prediction equations and test procedures developed by Henson, Turner, and Lacourse (1989a; 1989b). Predictive scores were compared to athletes' individual event point scores published in International Amateur A.thletic Federation (IAAF) men's and women's multi-event scoring tables ("Scoring Table for Men’s," 1962; "Scoring Table for Women's," 1971).

  • Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games
    Athletics at the Summer Olympic Games ATHLETICS AT THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES Cristiana Lucretia POP 1 Abstract Athletics is the sport of the most natural human movements: running, walking, jumping and throwing and it accompanied the Olympic Games on its 120 years journey from their first beginning. Athletics hallmarked Olympics evolution with memorable moments, exceptional records, great personalities and the triumph of talent and fair play. The paper is a survey of relevant references and data related with athletic events in the summer Olympics program. Further I highlighted the important moments in athletics and modern Olympics history since the first edition until to the last held in Brazil. On this attempt I draw attention on the noting implications of political interference in the Olympics. A reverence has been made to those athletes either men and women representing with honor East European countries in major sporting events over the 20th century. Much have changed since 1896, not only in number of events, athletes, competition and prizes, but in philosophy, sport sciences, ethics and professional approach as well. Keywords: modern Olympic history, athletics, records, major sporting events, cold war JEL classification: I13, I23, I31 1. Introduction Baron Pierre de Coubertin launched the idea of reviving the Olympic Games at a time of great cultural effervescence. At the end of the XIX century, the focus was on Paris, the capital of the elite of art reformers from across Europe and other parts of the world. There was a revolution in art made up by an emblematic generation, inspired by the present that does not write, compose, or paint about other times, but makes history.

  • The Influence Somatic Traits and Motor Fitness on Hurdle Race Results by Untrained Boys Aged 11-15
    JOURNAL OF HUMAN KINETICS VOLUME 4, 2000 THE INFLUENCE SOMATIC TRAITS AND MOTOR FITNESS ON HURDLE RACE RESULTS BY UNTRAINED BOYS AGED 11-15 by JANUSZ ISKRA, WŁADYSŁAW MYNARSKI∗ The goal of this paper was aimed at evaluation of relationships between chosen efficiency variables and somatic constitution indexes with results of a hurdle race by untrained boys at the age of 11-15. Continuous measurements, carried out between 1994-1998, were preceded by pilot researches (1993-1994) aimed at determining the principles of the run (distance between hurdles, height of hurdles) for particular age categories. The research project included 42 boys, pupils of primary school No. 15 in Ruda Śląska. Two variations of hurdle race were adopted, with 3- and 4-stride rhythm between hurdles, along with battery of efficiency tests directed according to specificity of a discipline (20-30 m, 40-60 m, and 120-180 m runs, standing triple-jump, counter- movement jump, overhead medicine ball throw, forward bend and stepping onto a ladder). On the basis of the above mentioned tests, the following factors were calculated: - level of the technique of hurdle race, - co-ordination efficiency, - speed endurance, - flexibility of hip joint. For the analysis also used were variables of somatic constitution (body height and mass, length of lower limbs) to calculate Rohrer factor. Gathered data has been elaborated statistically to define normality of distribution of the variables under research, differences between results in successive years and differences between separated sub-groups (with a t-test, for dependent and independent variables). Interdependencies of results of a hurdle race with chosen motor fitness variables were evaluated by means of Pearson simple correlation coefficient.

  • Competition Guide
    COMPETITION GUIDE This is a short guide to Athletics Competition opportunities throughout the year. Age Group Information: Under 11: School Years 4 & 5 Under 13: School Years 6 & 7 Under 15: School Years 8 & 9 Under 17: School Years 10 & 11 Under 20: Sixth form age. Those born between Jan 1st & Aug 31st will get a third year in U20’s while those born between Sept 1st & Dec 31st have two years only. Seniors: All other ages In some leagues (with the exception of U11’s) athletes are able to compete in a higher age category, at the discretion of the Track & Field Co-ordinator or Team Managers. League Competitions Waveney Valley compete in both in summer and winter League competitions. Where Waveney Valley athletes compete for the Club and score points in their age groups against athletes from other clubs, on a set series of League competition dates. All individual results in the League events (excluding Sportshall Athletics League) will be published on ‘The Power of 10’ website, Athletes’ Profile and UK Rankings. All affiliated and competing athletes have a personal profile on this website automatically and UK Rankings start from U13 age group. Entry fees for the Leagues are covered by the club, due to Team Managers selecting the teams. Whilst we may ask for athlete’s preference of events - this is not guaranteed. The performances of all athletes are taken from the Power of 10 website. Our intention is to enter our strongest athlete(s) in each event as A or B string, but complexities arise with multi skilled athletes and limitations in how many events each athlete can do, especially when we need to maximise on points.

  • The Trial-Performance Relationship in Javelin and Discus Throwing Events
    ICPESK 2015 : 5th International Congress of Physical Education, Sports and Kinetotherapy The Trial-Performance Relationship in Javelin and Discus Throwing Events Corina Ivana*, Margareta Antonb * Corresponding author: Corina Ivan, [email protected] aNational University of Physical Education and Sports, 140 Constantin Noica Street, Bucharest, Romania bEcological University, 1G Vasile Milea Blvd., Bucharest, Romania Abstract http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.06.19 In high level sports, trials are essential for the performance planning and monitoring, for establishing the threshold reached and estimating performance. Controls must allow evaluating the adaptation level of major functions to the event-specific demands, the development stage of motor qualities and the technicality level. That is why they are in conformity with the effort specificity in the respective event, with the individual particularities related to age and gender, as well as with the motor structures characteristic to technical gesture. Starting from the hypothesis that, under certain conditions, the results obtained in the trials have relevant prediction power, there have been tested 18 male and female athletes, discus and javelin throwers. For all trials, the coefficients of correlation with the athletic discipline were calculated, the measurands were labelled and the graphs were interpreted. The research has revealed a divided sample of athletes, the fact that some trials correlate with one another, while others correlate with the competitive results, and that the progress rate is relatively constant for the changes in labelling. The final conclusion is that a small part of the trials imposed by the Romanian Athletics Federation are significant and provide information which argues an acceptable prediction of the results in the oncoming competition.

  • Triple Jump Outline
    How Can I Spot A Successful Triple Jumper? “Triple jumpers must possess above- average ability in sprinting and jumping, and at the same time possess powerful muscles and good motor skills.” TRIPLE JUMP OUTLINE APPROACH RUN HOP (1st Phase) STEP (2nd Phase) JUMP (3rd Phase) DRILLS 1 Approach Run “The Key To Any Good Jumping Event” Approach should be 14-20 steps depending on the athletes ability. Force application predetermines what happens in the air. Develop momentum Every step should contribute to horizontal movement to the take off board. • Drive Phase • Acceleration Phase • Transition Phase Examples: If you take 15 steps the count is 6-5-4 If you take 16 steps the count is 6-6-4 If you take 17 steps the count is 7-6-4 • Decide on an even or odd stride pattern • Standing start increase consistency and usually has less error • Forward body lean (Simulating a sprinter out of the blocks) • Eyes level and down • Body gradually becomes erect • Driving of the knees with the feet driving back into the runway • Foot should remain dorsi-flexed • Straight alignment with head, spine, and pelvis should be maintained • Increase stride frequency with each step 2 Acceleration should be made into a tall running posture. (Not leaning forward/backward Good vigorous knee lift with the lower leg pushing downward to extension Continued increase in stride frequency without breaking posture • 4 strides to this phase no matter the total number of strides • Preparation for the jump • Fastest steps occur here! Continued acceleration with no chopping • Beware of deceleration! • Run off the board.

Establishment of efficient fundamental movement patterns, coordination in a variety of situations and positions, and developing general strength, power, and endurance are critical neuromuscular and physiological qualities. These capacities will contribute directly to long-term sporting success. Specifically, an athlete’s fitness level will either support or inhibit technical skill development by greatly influencing their ability to tolerate the training volumes required across different phases of development. The assessment and quantification of these qualities by using SkillsQuest-Fitness (SQ-F) can help to identify potential performance deficits, as well as ​ ​ ​ ​ track long-term performance trends. As U.S. Ski & Snowboard collects data and builds normative trends for each gender, sport, and phase of development, SQ-F will help to identify target areas for later development and success as elite athletes.
