Fundamentos del Atletismo: Carreras, Saltos y Lanzamientos- VIRTUAL

Good morning everyone.

Today's topic will be the fundamentals of athletics, specifically

running, jumping, and

throwing. First, let's understand

that athletics is a sport

that includes a variety of

events and activities, all focused on

running, jumping, and throwing. For

young people, athletics is not only an

excellent way to develop

physical skills but also to

foster discipline,

teamwork, and fun. So,

next, we're going to present the

fundamentals of athletics for

young people and divide them into the three

main categories already mentioned:

running, jumping, and

throwing. The first is running.

This involves competitions of

speed and endurance where you run

different distances.

These activities help improve

speed, agility, and

cardiovascular endurance. Among the types of

running we have are sprints,

which involve

running distances of 50 to 100 meters and

focus on acceleration and

maximum speed. One exercise to

achieve this is

short sprints focused on starting

quickly and maintaining good

posture. Then we have the other types of running. Regarding

endurance, this tells us that they have

distances of 400 or 800 meters, depending on the distance, and

that the technique can focus on

rhythm and endurance. The

exercise to perform this

is jogging at a constant pace,

working on breathing and

consistency. Then there are

relay races. Here it tells us that they will

run in teams, passing the

baton, which will be the object of study.

Here the technique tells us that we will

work on coordination in the

baton exchange, and as part of the

exercise, we will

practice the exchange of the

baton while maintaining

speed. We will see that the benefits

of running in general will

allow us to develop speed and

endurance, also improve

coordination and teamwork, and

finally, promote

cardiovascular health.

Then we are talking about high jumps.

This tells us that in athletics, they will

include activities where

young people must jump in length and

height. These activities will improve

strength, coordination, and

propulsion capacity. Among the types of jumps

I have, the first is the

long jump. Here it tells us that... To

run and jump as far as possible

in a designated area. The technical part

that will be worked on will be the

approach run, that is, when

I am approaching my point of

takeoff, then the takeoff with

one foot and the balanced landing, which will

be within the

designated area. I can execute the exercise by

practicing the

approach run and the takeoff.

Then I have the

high jump. This tells us that the children,

uh, sorry, the young people are going to

jump over a bar placed at a certain

height, and in the technical part, what I am

going to see is the

approach run when I am approaching

the bar, the scissor jump.

This tells me that the

scissor technique will be that my body will be

open like scissors,

with one leg forward and

the other back. This is as if I

were cutting the air. And I am also going

to work in this case on the

Fosbury Flop. This tells me that it is

when, in the Fosbury Flop, you

launch yourself over the bar as if you

were doing a jump.

Back somersault with head down and

feet crossed.

The exercise I can do

would be to practice jumps with different

techniques over low bars, or

these can vary depending on

what I feel most

comfortable with. The benefits of jumping tell me

that I can develop

strength and muscular power. I will also

improve coordination and

balance, and finally, I will be

fostering confidence and

precision. When we move on to the

throwing part, it tells us that

throwing in athletics will include

activities where young people will

throw objects as far as possible.

These activities will improve

strength, coordination, and throwing technique.

Among the types of throws we

can have is the

ball throw, which tells me that I will

throw, to put it redundantly, a

light ball as far as possible. The technique

for how we would work on it would be a

proper position, the rotation of the torso at

the top, and the extension of the

arm. And since the exercise will be to

practice the throwing technique with

scissor balls, then I have the

discus throw. Here it tells us that we are going to throw

a rubber disc or one of some other

material. We are going to work on the technique. This

involves the position of our

feet, the body rotation, and the throw.

Finally, we can

practice this exercise by doing

controlled throws with a rubber disc or one made of

another material. Then there's

the

javelin throw. This involves

throwing a

lightweight javelin, which is essentially a spear

adapted for the activities we'll be

doing. The technical part says

we'll work on the approach run,

arm positioning, and finally

the

throw. This exercise can be

practiced

with javelins adapted to the specific throw.

Among the

benefits of throwing, we see that it

helps improve strength and

coordination, as well as

precision and control of movement.

Finally, it fosters

technique and discipline in this

activity. So, guys, we've covered

this topic in a very general way. If

you have any questions, let me know. It's important to

understand that athletics is an

excellent way to introduce

young people to a variety of

physical activities that improve health,

motor skills, and

personal values. So, through

running and jumping... And with this

launch, we'll be able to

develop a solid foundation for

physical activity and sport,

also promoting an

active and healthy lifestyle. So guys, I

encourage you to be very enthusiastic about

this sport and also enjoy

the activities that help you

develop these skills in a

positive way. That's really

all for today's topic, and

thank you very much for your

attention.
