This document provides information about track and field athletics. It discusses the different types of tracks including cinder, grass, and synthetic surfaces. It then describes the standard specifications for a 400m track including the lengths of the straights and curves. Various formulas are presented for calculating radii, lane placement, and stagger starts. Event types are listed such as sprints, middle distance, long distance, hurdles, relays, jumps and throws. Finally, the heptathlon and decathlon events are outlined.

2. Three types of Track..!
1. Cery Track ( sander)

3. 2. Grass Track ( Soil )

4. 3.Synthetics Track ( Rubber )
 Standard Track..?
Length of Track 400 Meter,
8 Lane,

5. Shape of Track..
Over shape
 Leans..
Two Curve

6.  Tow Straight Lanes
 One Finish

7.  Straight for track = 84.39m
( 2x 84.39mt = 168.78mt )
Curve for track = 115.61m
( 2x115.61mt = 231.22mt )
 Running measurement for Run
= 168.78 +231.22 = 400mt.

8.  Circumference formula = 2 r
value of = 3.14159
Type of Radius in Athletics Track
1. Running distance Radius
2. Curve distance Radius
3. Marking distance Radius

9.  R = 2 = 6.28318
=2 Curve Length/ 2
231.22/ 6.28318 = 36.7998
= 36.80mt.
 Running Radius = 36.80mt.
 Marking Radius = 36.80 - 30 =
Marking Radius = 36.50mt.

10.  Total Length of Track = 400mt.
 One Length of Curve = 115.61mt.
 Two Length of Curve = 231.22mt.
Total Length straight = 400 – 231.22mt.
both straight = 168. 78mt.
0ne = 168.78 / 2 = 84.39mt.

11.  Marking Radius = 36.80- 30 = 36.50mt.
Total 2 r = 2 x 3.14159 x 36.50mt.
Both Curve = 229.34mt.
 Total Length of 400meter marking Line
= Curve + Straight
= 229.34mt + 168.78mt
400mt. Track Marking Length = 398.12mt.
= 1.88mt

12. E

W
Direction Should be North to South

13.  Total Length one Straight + (2 x Curve D R) +( 2 x Extra Space)
84.39mt. + ( 2 x 36.50 ) + (1.22 x 16 ) +( 2 x 5 )
84.39mt. + 73 + 19.52 + 10
= 186.91mt.
 Total Width
(W of Lane x No. of Lane) + (2 x Curve D R) +( 2 x Extra Space)
(1.22 x 16 ) + (2 x 36.50) + ( 2 x 5 )
19.52 + 73 + 10 = 102.52mt.
Total Area of Track Marking = Length x Width
186.91 x 102. 52 = 19162.013 square meter

14.  How to find Exact place for Track Marking.?

15.  Formula for 400mt. Full Stagger
[ w ( N – 1 ) – 10 ] 2
[ 1.22 ( 2 – 1 ) – 10 ] 2
[ 1.22 x 1 – 10 ] 2
[ 1.22 – 10 ] 2 x 3.14159
1.12 x 6.28318 = 7.04 m

16.  Formula 200 mt. Half Stagger
[ w ( N-1) – 10 ]
[ 1.22 ( 2 – 1 ) ]
[ 1.22 x 1 – 10 ] 3.14159
