Athletics is a sport that diperlombakan the first Olympics in 776 BC. The parent organization for athletic sports in Indonesia is the PASI (Association of Athletics All Indonesia).Athletics was the original event of the first Olympics in 776 BC where the only event is a race or stade. There are several "games" are held during the classical era Europe: Panhellenic Games The Pythian Games (founded 6 BC) held in Argolid every two tahun.The Isthmian Games (founded 523 BC) was held at the Isthmus of Corinth every two tahThe Roman Games Coming than purely Greek roots, the Roman games and throwing race wear. Instead of chariot racing and wrestling, as in Greek, Etruscan sport wear galiatoral battle, which both nuga 527 BC) held in Delphi every four years. The Nemean Games (51 using the stage). Other communities enjoyed athletic contests, such as the Celtic, Teutonic, and the Goths who also favored the Romans. However, these were often related to combat training. In the Middle Ages the son of a nobleman will be trained in running, fighting and wrestling, and additional riding, archery and weapons training. Contests between rivals and friends are very common on both official and unofficial.In the 19th century the formal organization of the modern event. This includes regular sports and exercise into school regimes. Royal Military College, Sandhurst has claimed to use it first in 1812 and 1825 but without any real evidence. The meeting was organized at Shrewsbury, Shropshire in 1840 by the Royal Shrewsbury School Hunt. There are details of the meeting series of letters written 60 years later by CT Robinson who was a pupil there from 1838 until 1841. Eeck Military Academy at Woolwich held an organized competition in 1849, but the first regular series of meetings was held at Exeter College, Oxford from 1850.Modern athletic events are usually organized around a 400m running track at almost all events take place. Field events (jumping and throwing) often take place inside the track. Athletics was included in the modern Olympics in 1896 and form the foundations Women were first allowed to participate in track and field events in the Olympics in 1928. An international governing body, the IAAF was founded in 1912. The IAAF established separate outdoor World Championships in 1983. There are several regional games such as the European Championships, the Pan-American Games and Commonwealth Games. In addition there is a professional Golden League circuit, cumulating in the IAAF World Athletics Final and indoor championships such as the World Indoor Championship. The sport has a high profile during major championships, especially the Olympics, but others are less popular.AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) is the governing body in the United States until it collapsed under pressure from advancing professionalism in the late 1970s. A new body called The Athletic Congress (TAC) was formed, and eventually was named USA Track and Field (USATF or USA T & F). An additional, structural organization with a smaller, Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) also exists in the USA to promote road racing. In modern times, athletes to receive money from the race, ending called "amateurism" that existed before.[Edit] Track and Field IndoorThere are two seasons in track and field. There are indoor season, during the winter and the outdoor season, run during the spring and summer. Most indoor tracks are 200 meters and consists of four or six lanes. Often an indoor track will have banked turns to compensate for tight bends. In indoor track athletes compete at the outdoor track events with the exception of the 100m run and 110/100m hurdles (replaced with a 60m sprint and the 60 m hurdles at most levels and sometimes the 55m sprint and 55m hurdles at the high school level) and run 10 000 m, a brisk walk 300m, and 400m hurdles. Also receive additional indoor 3,000 m run normally at both the collegiate and elite instead of the 10,000. 5,000 marathon is an event run by far the most common, although there are situations where longer distances have been raced. In the mid-20th century, there is a duel race series at Madison Square Garden (New York) indoor track, some of which featured two men racing a marathon (26.2 miles). However, this is very rare. In certain circumstances, there is also a 500m race than 400 m normally found outdoors, and at the collegiate championship races indoors both are contested.In field events, indoor meets only feature the high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump and shot. Sheet javelin, hammer throw and shot put are added only for outdoor, there is normally not enough space in an indoor stadium competition. Events unique to indoor meets (especially in North America) are weight throw 300, 600, 1000 and 35 pounds. In some countries, notably Norway, standing long jump and standing high jump are also contested, even in the National Championship for the multi-event athletes there is the Pentathlon for women (ie, 60m hurdles, long jump, shot put and 800m) and heptathlon for men (ie 60m hurdles, long jump, shot put, 60m run, pole vault and 1000m). For any outdoor decathlon and heptathlon for women[Edit] Track and Field OutdoorOutdoor track and field usually begins and ends during the spring. Most tracks are oval to state 400m. However, some of the old track measuring 440 yardm where there are several tracks that are not oval and not 400m/440 yards because of geographical circumstances. Modern track wear surfaces dikaretkan, and older tracks using sand or gravel. Tracks normally 6-10 lines and can include a step and sewer lines in one turn. This steeplechase outside or on the track, making the corner a narrow or wide. It is common that tracks will surround a playing field used for American football, soccer, or lacrosse. Field is usually known in the field and a surface using artificial grass or carpet, and a place to hold team diaman long camp during the tournament. But the javelin, hammer and disc usually contested outside the field in another field because it requires a wider space, and its implementation may be damaging the field that is used or the track.[Edit] EventsThere are other variations besides the ones listed below, but races of unusual length (eg 300 m) are more rare. The unusual races are typically held during indoor season because of the riangan 200m. With the exception of running a mile, the race based on the distance of the kingdom are rarely held on the track since most of the track was changed from a quarter mile (402.3 m) to 400 m. Almost all the royal record for distance is not held back. Bagaimanapu, the IAAF record book still includes mile world record (held by Hicham El Guerroj of Morocco and Svetlana Masterkova of Russia for women) because of significant differences worldwide.
