THE BACKGROUND OF ATHLETICS
Track and field athletics, commonly known as athletics or track and field, is a
collection of sports events that involve running, throwing and jumping. The
name "athletics" is derived from the Greek word "athlos" meaning "contest".
Dating back to the Ancient Greeks, athletics was the only competition to be
held in the first Olympic Games which took place in Athens in 776 BC. At that
time, the single athletic event was known as the stade, a foot race which
covered the length of the Athenian Olympic stadium.
In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were staged. Although initially of
limited appeal, the Olympics captured the imagination of athletes and grew
steadily, making track and field an international sport for the first time. In 1913,
the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) was formed by
representatives from 16 countries. The IAAF was charged with establishing
standard rules for the sport, approving world records, and ensuring that the
amateur code was adhered to; it continues to carry out these duties today.
Track Events
Track events often involve a field or a running track of varying measurements.

These events are typically held in a 400-meter track. These include sprints,
middle distance events, long distance events, hurdles, relays, road running
and race walking.
Short Distance or Sprints
Sprint is a short running race. In a track and field competition, there are
generally three different sprint distances: 100m, 200m, and 400m.
Middle Distance
The middle-distance races are 800m, 1500m, and 3000m. These races
require different skills and tactics to win. They rely more on endurance and
pacing than just pure speed. Also, the runners don't stay in a single lane for
the entire race. They start out in staggered lanes, to make the distance the
same for each runner, but the race soon becomes open with no lanes and the
runners must pass around each other to gain the lead.
6
Long Distance
There are three main long-distance races: 3000m, 5000m, and 10,000m
races. These races are similar to the middle-distance races, but the emphasis
is even more on correct pacing and endurance.
Hurdles
A hurdles race is one in which obstacles are placed at intervals along the track
that the runners must jump over on their way the finish line. Typical hurdle
races are the 100m and 400m for women and 110m and 400m for men.
Timing, footwork, and technique are the key in wining hurdles events. Of
course, you still need to be fast, but jumping the hurdles in stride without much
slowing down is how to win in the hurdles.
Relays
Relay races are where teams of runners compete against each other. There
are typically four runners and four legs to the race. The first runner starts with
the baton and runs the first leg handing off to the second runner. The hand off
must typically take place within a given area of the track. The second then
hands off to the third and the third to the fourth. The fourth runner runs the
final, or anchor, leg to the finish line. Common relay races are the 4x100m and
the 4x400m.

Participating and performing well in running events require some key skills to
make it well in every event. Mastering these skills will not waste any
movement, will use essential muscles, use optimum force, and relax the
muscles that will not be involved in your movements.
Running Skills
Body Position
The head, trunk, and pelvis should be positioned

along a vertical line, which is perpendicular to the
ground. This helps to ensure that the pelvis is in
the most efficient position. It should be obvious
that the erect position better enables you to lift
your knees, which, in turn, will increase stride
length.
Your head should be up, with eyes focused 20 -

30 yards ahead. Runners who have a tendency to
look at the ground a short distance in front of their
feet usually have short, choppy stride as a result.
8
Arm and Shoulder Carriage
It is necessary to have arm and shoulder

movements during running so that torque
produced by the driving of the legs is more
easily absorbed. Your shoulder must move in
coordination with the arms.
It is advisable for you to keep the hands,

arms, and shoulders as relaxed as possible,
for tense muscles does not only required a
greater oxygen consumption but are also
prone to cramps. Most runners cup the hands
or maintain a light pressure between the
thumb and fist, finger on each hand; this tends
to prevent the arms and shoulders from
tensing.
The position of the arms should probably approach a right angle during the
forward movement but the exact position is not critical. However, you must not
carry your arms excessively high for this can be very fatiguing. During the
forward swing, your arms should not cross the imaginary mid-line which
divides the body. Runners who do this "cross-body" action cause the trunk to
rotate unnecessarily.
Action of the Legs
There are two parts of leg action. These

are: (1) the recovery phase, and (2) the
driving phase. In the recovery phase, the
rear foot leaves the ground and in the
driving phase the lead foot touches the
ground.
Running speed is the combination of the

stride length and frequency of the stride.
Stride length and body lean will increase
as one increases speed.
Foot Action
A male runner has a landing touch
with a "heel-ball" action, which is
where the heel hits the ground first.
9
The weight is then transferred to the ball of the foot in a rocking chair fashion.
Among female runners the "heel-ball" and "ball-heel-ball" is about the same. In
the "ball-heel-ball", the runner initially settles on the ball of the foot, and then
momentarily transfers the body's weight to the heel, and then rolls forward
again to the ball for the driving phase. The "heel-ball" landing tough is suited
to be more efficient over long distances because there is less strain put on the
muscles of the calf.
a. Master the sprint start.
b. Starting a sprint race is all about explosion of speed and power.
c. You do need to keep it under control.
d. Being relaxed helps your body run efficiently and quickly at any
distance.
e. Try to breathe gently and await the starter's commands.
f. Keeping your eyes focused on the ground ahead of you will help your
balance, focus and relaxation.
ON YOUR MARK
a. Crouch on one knee and form a
high bridge with your fingers just
behind the line.
b. Your hands should be placed
slightly wider than your shoulder
width.
c. If you feel cramped, you are
probably positioned too close to the
start line.
d. Don’t get distracted by anything or
anybody.
e. Keeping your eyes focused on the
ground ahead of you will help your
balance, focus and relaxation.
10
SET
a. Raise your hips to a level just

above your shoulders.
b. Your head shouldn't be

dropped towards the ground
but don't 'crick' your neck by
trying to look up the track.
c. Lean your body as far forward

as you can and aim to begin
running without stumbling.
GO
a. When then gun goes off,

breathe out hard and pump
those arms and legs.
b. Try not to travel too far with

each stride to start with.
c. Thrust your elbows as high

as possible with each
backward swing and drive
your legs with a high knee
action.
d. Keeping your body low in

your opening strides will
thrust you forward.

3 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Physical activity has benefits for the human body, but along with this, it also
carries with it some risks. The most common of these risks are burnout and
musculoskeletal injury.
Depending on the activity, injury may be present. To minimize the risks of

activity – related injuries, here are some precautions and safety tips that you
may follow:
• Wear comfortable clothing and well – padded shoes that will protect the
heels and arches of the feet.
• Put on appropriate gear for the activity such as knee pad and elbow pads.
• Always do warm up exercises before any physical activity and cool down
afterwards to lower the risk of strains and sprains.
• Take some break during the activity.
• Do not exercise with an empty stomach. Eat something light to give you
some stamina, but do not exercise immediately after a full meal.
• Replenish fluids before, during, and after a physical activity.
• Be aware of the weather and environmental conditions. Avoid doing outdoor
vigorous activities in hot or humid weather.
• Listen to your body. Don’t do physical activity when you don’t feel well.

4 INTRODUCTION TO SWIMMING
Swimming is an individual or team racing sport that requires the use of one's
entire body to move through water. The sport takes place in pools or open
water (e.g., in a sea or lake). Competitive swimming is one of the most
popular Olympic, sports, with varied distance events in butterfly, backstroke,
breaststroke, freestyle.
History of Swimming
Prehistoric times – Evidence of recreational swimming has been found with
the earliest evidence dating to Stone Age paintings from around 10,000 years
ago.
2000 BC – Some of the earliest references to swimming including the Iliad, the
Odyssey, the Bible, Beowulf, the Quran and others.
1538 – Nikolaus Wynmann, a Swiss–German professor of languages, wrote

the earliest known complete book about swimming, Colymbetes, sive de arte
natandi dialogus et festivus et iucundus lectu (The Swimmer, or A Dialogue on
the Art of Swimming and Joyful and Pleasant to Read).
1830 – Swimming emerged as a competitive recreational activity in the in

England.
1828 – The first indoor swimming pool, St George's Baths was opened to the
public.

competitions in six artificial swimming pools, built around London. The
recreational activity grew in popularity.
1844 – Two Native American participants at a swimming competition in

London introduced the front crawl to a European audience.
Sir John Arthur Trudgen – picked up the hand-over stroke from some
South American natives and successfully debuted the new stroke in
1873. His stroke is still regarded as the most powerful to use today.
Captain Matthew Webb – was the first man to swim the English
Channel (between England and France), in 1875. Using the
breaststroke technique
16
1880 – The first national governing body, the Amateur Swimming Association
was formed, there were already over 300 regional clubs in operation across
the country.
1889 – The first European amateur swimming competitions were in Vienna.
1892 – The world's first women's swimming championship was held in

Scotland.
1896 – Men’s swimming became part of the first modern Olympic Games in
Athens.
1902 – The Australian Richmond Cavill introduced freestyle to the Western

world.
1908 – The world swimming association, Fédération Internationale de

Natation (FINA), was formed.
1912 – Women's swimming was introduced into the Olympics.
1922 – Women’s Olympiad was the first international swim meet for women
outside the Olympics
1930 – Butterfly was developed and was at first a variant of breaststroke, until
it was accepted as a separate style in 1952.
History of swimming in the Philippines

1900s – Americans introduced swimming as a sport to the Philippines.
1912 – A number of local swimmers had emerged from different parts of the
country who competed against each other in championships organized by the
Americans.
1928 – The greatest achievement of a Filipino in the sport. Teofilo E.

Yldelfonso – nicknamed the “Ilocano Shark,” won the Philippines first Olympic
medal by winning bronze in the 200 m breaststroke event at the 1928
Olympics in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
He repeated this feat in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, California, when
he won his second bronze medal, becoming the first Filipino to win multiple
medals in the Olympics.
17
1951 – The first Asian Games was held in New Delhi, India. Artemio Salamat
and Jacinto Cayco won gold medals for the 200m and 100m breaststroke
events, respectively.
1985 – Erik Buhain won gold in the 400-meter individual medley at Southeast
Asian Games held in Bangkok, Thailand.
5 EQUIPMENT IN SWIMMING
The following are the basic equipment used in swimming.
GOGGLES KICK BOARD SWIM CAP STARTING GUN
SWIM SUIT TOUCH PAD SWIMMING TRUNKS
6 FOUR SWIMMING STROKES
1. Front Crawl
• It is popularly known as Freestyle. It is also
considered as the fastest and most efficient
swimming technique.
• The body must be kept horizontal, stretched
and streamlined.
• Involves alternating over arm strokes and the
flutter kick, the up and down movement of the
legs.
• The head remains in the water, the face
alternating from side to side.
18
2. Butterfly
• It is a powerful and graceful technique; the
most difficult and exhausting stroke.
• Hands enter the water shoulder width
apart.
• Legs move in fishtail or dolphin kick, which
the legs move up and down together, with
the knees bent on the upward swing.
• Arms move up and downward shoulder
rotate bringing arms around.
3. Breaststroke
• It is the slowest of the four official styles
in competitive swimming which requires
comparable endurance and strength to
other strokes.
• Strokes begin with the body in a
stretched out, horizontal position with the
face in the water.
• Upper body lifts as the arms pull and the
head lifts to breathe.
• Frog kick takes place under the water
and begins with the legs in an extended
position with feet together. Frog kick is leg
movement where the knees primarily
turned outward and the legs alternately
separated and closed.
4. Backstroke
• It has the advantage of easy breathing,
but has the disadvantage of swimmers not
being able to see where they are going.
This is the only competition swimming
style that has a different start.
• Push of the wall, on your back, in a
streamline position.
• The alternating kick originates from the
hip and remains within the body width.
• Toes are pointed with ankles relaxed and
the knees bend slightly with each kick.
• The leg kick and arm actions should be
controlled and steady while maintaining a
fixed head position.

2 HISTORY OF BADMINTON
Badminton was once known as Poona that originated in India. The British
army officers created, brought, and introduced this sport in England in the
1860’s. The game was named badminton because the Dukes and Ministers of
the royal court played it in the early 1870 in a place of Badminton,
Gloucestershire, England.
In 1936, the American Badminton Association was formed and the first
national tournament was held in Chicago in 1937.
In 1992, badminton became an Olympic sport during the Barcelona games

having been an exhibition sport in the 1972 Munich Games and the 1988
Seoul Games.
Badminton is a net or a racket game played on a rectangular court where

opponents volley a shuttlecock over a net using a racket. This is an example
of dual sports. The aim of the game is to score points by landing the
shuttlecock in the opponent’s court. Matches for badminton can be played by
either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles and
mixed doubles). Mixed doubles refer to a case where the opposite sex will
compose a pair in doubles.
Badminton is governed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). Its official

website is www.bwfbadminton.org.
Badminton sport has been dominated over the years by the Asian countries
such as China, Malaysia, South Korea, India, and Indonesia. Chen Long of
China ranked first on the recent badminton history. Denmark is probably
Europe’s most consistent country for producing top talent with Jan O.
Jorgensen who ranked second.
In 2019 Palarong Pambansa held at Davao City Regina Glaze L. Neri and
Catherine Joyce L. Barrientos both from Kidapawan City Division represented
SOCCSKSARGEN and fortunately garnered bronze medal for doubles -
secondary girls while for mixed- doubles we have still Catherine Joyce L.
Barrientos from Kidapawan City and Dennis Ben D. Felipe of Koronadal City
garnered bronze medal too.

Enrichment Activity
Here’s more!
Elaborate yourself by engaging in other dual sports activities such as table
tennis.
Table Tennis is also called ping-pong, is a game similar in principle to lawn

tennis and played on a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed
across its width in the middle. The objective is to hit the ball so that it goes
over the net and bounces on the opponent’s half of the table in such a way
that the opponent cannot reach it or return it correctly. It is considered the
most popular racket sport in the world.
Improvised is the best solution for those who don’t have the equipment in
table tennis like table, racket, net and ball. Creativity comes in as long as you
may develop the basic skills in table tennis. Create a mini-tournament among
your family members. Again, this may serve as your quality family bonding
activity.
Note:
Record your scores in your mini tournament.
Invite other members of the family and even your friends to join you in the
mini-tournament.
Have a casual discussion with your family members and friends about the
benefits of engaging in sports like badminton and table tennis.
