Track and Field

because without getting your muscles in shape and stronger you will be out performed on the field or court in any sport and wont perform at the highest level.

This is quite an easy question for me to answer as i am quite athletic, the answer to this one is 4, even in swimming the relay consists of 4, i assume you mean athletics and yes athletics relays consist of 4.

Interesting question.

If you mean has a white man ever held the World record for the 100m then yes. Was the holder faster than a man who was not white - don't know.

Yes when African or africanamerican men were not allowed to compete in the Olympics. there was a white man who was the fastest! there will be a white man in the future who will possess the title of the fasted white man in the world. 40 in 4.1 and 100 in 9.875. . which is a accomplishment While there will be man of color 3.99 in 40 and 9.12 in the 100 in the future since Africa is hosting the soccer championship in 2010. in my opinion.

10 kilometers = 6.2137 miles Marathon = 26.21875 miles

The 800m is the metric equivalent of the half mile. The world record is 1:41.01 held by David Rudisha of Kenya.

She and her husband Al Joyner had one child, an 8 year old daughter named Mary, when Flo Jo died in 1998.

Svetlana Masterkova holds the world record for the Mile run at 4:12.56 which is 9.35 meters longer than the 1600. Her mile time is more than three seconds faster than the second best ever. Additionally Masterkova was known for winning her races from the front, rather than sprinting for the finish, so it is impossible any other individual could have arrived at the 1600 meter mark ahead of her adjusted mile time or even her actual mile time.

A 'heat' is a preliminary race in a running event where the the top 2 or 3 finishers qualify for another race and the others are eliminated. For example, if there were 32 entrants in a 100 meter dash race, you could have 4 'heats' where the first two finishers in each heat would qualify to run in the final race where the winner would be considered the winner of the 100 meter dash for that competition.

You should multiply your 60-meter time by 11/6 or 1.833 . That'll give you a

rough estimate of the time to expect for 110 meters, if the hurdles are spaced

the same, and if you can keep up the same speed for 83% more distance.

"Shin splints" is more of a symptom that could be caused by several conditions than a specific condition itself. Pain or discomfort in the front lower leg when running or jumping are a good indication of this type of condition. Putting pressure on the muscles next to the tibia (shin bone) will produce discomfort or pain. Take two fingers and apply firm pressure as you slide your fingers along the tibia where the bone and muscle meet on the medial (inside) and lateral (outsided) sides of the tibia (shin bone). If you feel pain in any of these areas it is likely that either the muscle is pulling away from the bone in microscopic tears or that you have small stress fractures along the tibia.

Although wearing neoprene sleeves on the lower legs and certain taping methods can relieve some of the discomfort in the lower leg commonly referred to as "shin splints," the only real treatment for shin splints is rest and ice. Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. A good supplemental intake of calcium, Vitamin C, glucosamine, chondroiton, and MSM will ensure that your body has the materials it needs to repair itself.

Shin splints are usually used to describe the pain and discomfort associated with the tibialis anterior muscle being torn off of the tibia because of a strength imbalance between this muscle and the soleus and gastrocnemius. To recover, the athlete should rest and apply ice to the affected area of the shin in 20-30 minute segments as often as possible. The athlete may return to exercise after the area is no longer sensitive to pressure along the tibia, the athlete can perform lower leg stretches without discomfort, and a light jog is shown to produce no pain or discomfort. The recovery period will usually take 2-3 weeks, but this can vary greatly among athletes.

To prevent shin splints from reoccurring, or to prevent them from ever occurring in the first place, one should engage in an exercise program that targets strengthening the tibialis anterior directly. This short video shows a simple exercise that is very effective in preventing shin splints.

Well, I do not know the whole detail to this question but can give some insight. The reason why baseball players run the bases counter clockwise along with NASCAR, INDY, horse racing, dogs, running counter clockwise etc., has a lot to do with the American Revolution. Early Americans hated the British so much they wanted to do almost eveything opposite to their rules. In England and Europe, they run car and horse races clockwise, and I think Cricket runs clockwise as well, although they do not have a diamond like American Baseball. Hope that helps!

The men's world record for the two mile run is held by Daniel Komen of Kenya. His time was 7:58. 61. For women the record is 8:58. 58 which is held by Meseret Defar from Ethiopia.

Roger Bannister was the first man to break the four minute mile. He did it in May, 1954 at a meet in England, I believe with a time of 3:59.4. He was running with others that also had the potential. I guess you could say that the conditions were just right for him to break the record.

How much a girl track runner makes varies depending on how fast she runs. An Olympic runner can make millions of dollars following her gold medal in track. When she becomes a professional runner, she can then get advertising contracts and commercials to make money.

It depends on where you are in the country. For example in New York you get about 40,000 and in Atlanta you get 35,000 a month on basic without sponsors. But if you are sponsored you get a major bonus for sponsors like Nike,Adidas,or Puma who might give you and extra 100,000 a month.

IAAF World Athletics Final was created in 2003.

It is not possible to maintain the same speed over different distances.

There are two different types of muscle fibers which are beneficial to short distance runners or 'sprinters' and long distance runners - fast and slow twitch fibres.

Short distance runners benefit from fast twitch fibers which contract the muscles more quickly enabling them to run at speed. These muscles can be speed up with training (weights). They also train to run without oxygen in their muscles or anaerobically - 100m runners run the distance with one breath of air!

Long distance running is really about endurance and developing stamina. This requires long training runs because the muscles need to be able to develop a long term and more efficient way of converting energy for the body whereas the sprinter needs to develop the quick release of 'explosive' energy - imagine throwing alcohol on one fire to release the energy in it and then putting charcoal on it. They will both burn and release energy but at different rates.

Training can condition this but people are generally suited physically to one or another.

To answer your question specifically - generally speaking not as effectively, e.g. when Seb Coe, an 800m/1500m Olympic champion and World record holder ran a marathon he recorded a time of around 2hr 50min.

Emil Zatopek won the 5000m, 10000m and the marathon in the same Olympics but al these races are medium - long distance.

Incredibly, typically, a 100m runner can run the 200m but struggles with the 400m!!!

An 800m runner can run the 1500m - Ovett, Coe, Cram etc. but struggles with 3000m.

It depends whether you are in competition or not.

So in short I'd say that for events in the following categories concentrate on one area:

1. 100m-400m

2. 800m-3000m

3. 5000m - Marathon.

Whichever you do have fun - that's what it's all about!

The Pentathlon consists of 5 events and in the following order: 1) Long Jump 2) Javelin 3) 200 meters 4) Discus 5) 1500 meters, points are given for each even, the highest total number of points determines the winner.

They make sure that everyone follows the rules, and blows an annoying whistle.

It depends on who you are. I'm a 50 year old man, trying to reduce my time from 60 minutes this Spring to 50 minutes before the end of the year. For me, 50 minutes would be great. When I was in my late teens and early twenties, an under 40 10K would brand you as a serious runner, and I got close at 41 minutes. I did a marathon that same summer in 3:44. My 20 year old son, who is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, has never run a 10K in over 40 minutes. For him, over 40 minutes is bad.
