TRACK & FIELD EXAM 2026 PRACTICE TEST
WITH ANSWERS AND FIELD EVENTS AND
RUNNING EVENTS ANALYSIS
◉ arena.
Answer: A full-size track usually measures 400 meter(1 lap around)
in circumference, has six or eight lanes, and encircles a sports field
that contains specific areas for each field sport. Most tracks have a
synthetic rubber or polyurethane surface for year-round use. Indoor
tracks are usually only 200 meters in circumference, have six lanes
and have banked turns to accommodate bends that are far tighter
than on an outdoor track. Whether indoors or outdoor, athletes
always race around the track in a counter clockwise direction. Due to
space constraints, indoor field events consist of jumps and the shot
put.
◉ athlete.
Answer: comes from the Greek worth "athlos," meaning a contest or
competition and "athlon" meaning prize.
◉ Track Field History.
Answer: The first athletics event at the first ancient Olympiad was
the "stade" race-a sprint along the full length of the stadium (a
distance of approximately 210 yards/192 meters). Order of track
, and field events that are competed in official meet is determined by
random draw
◉ sprints.
Answer: 100 M = shortest sprint race, 200 m (m/w), 400m (m/w).
Middle Distance events range from 800m races to 3000m races.
Equipment:
Aerodynamically efficient Lycra body suit
Very light shoes with spikes up to 1⁄3 inch and a thin sole
Starting blocks (which allow athletes to drive forward powerfully at
the starter's gun)
◉ Did you know? Sprint fact.
Answer: For all sprints, runners must remain in their starting lane
for the duration of the race. At the start of the events that involve
running around one or more bends (the 200meeter and 400 meter),
the competitors are "staggered" to start to ensure that each runner
travels exactly the same distance.
◉ hurdles.
Answer: 100m hurdles (w), 110m hurdles (m), 400m (m/w, high
school). Apparatus: High Hurdles- are used during the sprint events.
Intermediate Hurdles-used for the 400 meter race.
