Which Track and Field Equipment you require

 

Running, jumping, and throwing are popular athletic sports events in Olympics. For every sport, there is a list of track and field equipment that is required to ensure the events are safe, fun and prepared. 

The checklist includes landing mats, drag brushes, long jump pit covers, spike rollers and more for running, throwing and jumping. It also covers grounds keeping tools and machines. 

In this blog, let’s focus on the essential equipment for Track and Field Athletics. 

Throwing Equipment

Hammer, Discus, Javelin, and Shot Put: These are the main throwing events in the Olympic Games. Each type of activity has its requirements based on gender, range of weights, sizes, lengths, grips, colours and more. Thus, it is imperative to think about your specific needs before buying the equipment.

 

Weight Cart

The weight carts are helpful in training centres where athletes will throw weights.

 

Spot Markers

When the athlete throws their javelin or shot put, they must mark their distances. Coloured, plastic and non-slip spot markers are the way to mark distances in a track and field setting.

 

Running Equipment

A pair of quality running shoes are the only equipment required by the runner. Still, there is some essential equipment to make the running possible.

Spike Roller

Spike roller is imperative for maintaining a healthy track. When runners run on the soil, it becomes more compacted and harder; the spike roller is crucial for relieving the soil compaction, making the grass healthier and more durable.

Hurdles

There are many running events that require different heights of the hurdle.

Landing Mats

They are one of the essential equipment needed for landing. There are two main types of mat: gymnastic mats and jumping landing areas. Gymnastic mats provide less depth and provide a tougher impact.
