Physical Education Lecture | Track And Field (Athletics) | HIGH JUMP

Track and field is a sport which includes athletic contests established on the skills of running, jumping, and throwing.The name is derived from where the sport takes place, a running track and a grass field for the throwing and some of the jumping events. Track and field is categorised under the umbrella sport of athletics, which also includes road running, cross country running, and race walking. The high jump is a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it. In its modern most practised format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing. In the modern era, athletes run towards the bar and use the Fosbury Flop method of jumping, leaping head first with their back to the bar. Since ancient times, competitors have introduced increasingly effective techniques to arrive at the current form. The discipline is, alongside the pole vault, one of two vertical clearance events to feature on the Olympic athletics programme. It is contested at the World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships, and is a common occurrence at track and field meetings. The high jump was among the first events deemed acceptable for women, having been held at the 1928 Olympic Games. IN THIS VIDEO:
