You mean moral principles? Like not taking steroids & drugs and stuff?\n\nThe answer is yes, it has to, otherwise its meaningless..which is why the testing is stringent and the penalties so severe.

There are actually 3 events in track and field that involve throwing a metal ball (usually iron or brass, not lead). As the others have mentioned, there's the shot put. The second event is the hammer throw. The hammer is a ball the same size as the shot with a length of wire and a handle. The thrower spins three times picking up speed before releasing the hammer. The last is the weight throw. While the shot and hammer weigh 16 pounds, the weight is either 35 or 56 pounds with a large triangular handle. It's thrown similarly to the hammer by spinning around to gain speed before releasing the implement.\n\n\nNote: The implement is the "shot", the event is the "shot put". You "put the shot", you never "throw the shot put".

track is a non-cut sport. basically just dont fail all of your classes. since he has never run track before he should start training now. it depends what events he is going to be running to choose what workouts. but repeat 200's work for everything and gets you in good shape. he should do 3x200's with 2min rest in between. then do another set. another good workout is run a full out 300 as fast as you can, get full rest, then run a full out 150. make sure he gets a good warm up...you dont want to hurt yourself. try to work out 4-5 days a week. tell him good luck!

It really doesn't matter what grade you are in to see if you are the fastest. It is basically how much effort and time you actually put into it. In track in HS they don't care if your a freshman you can still make the Varsity level because of how fast you run. Usually the ones who have been running for the longest amount of time generally do better in the event that they are "trained" to do. hopefully that answers your question.

It is definitely possible.  I have run track throughout high school and the first year of college, and I never really actually started training hard until the fall.  Track is a spring sport, so training really doesn't start until around January.  If you are interested in cross country as well, then you should start training now.  But it really does not take long at all to get into shape, and it only takes a few weeks after that to peak, and you really don't want that happening until the season starts.  There is only a small window of time that you remain in top condition, so it's important that that happens during season.\n\nIf you start training now, you should be more than fine.  I have always been given thirty to forty minute runs for summer work outs, and twice a week I do interval training, and one day with rest.  Go out for the team, by all means.  You should have no problem at all if you start training now.

Actually, those are pretty good times, especially for a freshman. I ran a 58 400m my sophmore year (my first year running track). The good news is, if you can run a 61/ 2.21 as a freshman, you have some pretty good natural ability. Keep training, and the seconds will start to come off. Work hard, and you could even get below 50 for the 400m by your junior or senior year. Exciting, huh?

I never got that impression - seems to me that people generally respect track & field. I think it is actually the truest test of athletic ability. To the extent it does not test reflexes, aiming, etc., it more than makes up for that by testing strength and endurance to the maximum and with no teammates or anything else to determine your success - unless you are doing relays. Unlike nearly all other sports, running requires nothing but yourself.\n\nThink of just about any other sport, and you'll find people at the top levels who are not in great shape if not out of shape. You'll never see that on the track.\n\nRunning is as easy or as hard as you want to make it. So yes, you can go out for a Sunday jog or you can torture yourself or anything in between. I've done it for 30 years and don't regret it one bit. I don't think it is an exaggeration to say its physical benefits are enormous.

300s and 400s wil definitely help your time... in the first meets of the year my coach wil not only run you in your primary races, but also a race longer.. it helps build endurance in the 200 which is key, because to win you have to sprint the entire race and many people don't do that... they hard stride and then try to kick. Make sure you come out had and try to maintain it the wole way.... if you die in te end, it's okay just push yourself and eventually ou won't die. Make sure ou make up stagger in the curve... if you are lane 8 then you better get out and not allow other to make up stagger on you... hope this helps!

Wow girl! Um, track and field is such a broad field of exercise, please try to be a little more specific. If you are talking about track, then what distance? Hurdles? If you are talking about field, then which event? Each event has many different techniques to help you excell, but each one is different from the others.

I got about the same time without starting blocks when a senior in high school during gym class. I like u never ran the 100 meter before. The PE teacher was also the track coach and he wanted me to go out for the track team. But I declined since I was senior. So your time compares favorably to one hasn't trained for the 100 meters. Also I believe the world record is 9.78 seconds so much closer to 10 seconds than 9. Keep going and it will come down.

There's no such thing as "track field," per se, but I imagine that you are talking about a standard track which encircles a football field.  Those are usually 1/4 mile per lap, so you would've run 1 1/4 miles.

I am on a track team, here is what I advise you to do. I don't know what kind of build you have, height, etc, so this is perhaps a generalization. I would for starters, try building strength in your legs. Do what are called Stassi Squats, which is keeping your feet spread and parallel, bending down at a 90 degree angle, and with your back as straight as you can make it. Hold this for a minute. Repeat 4 more times. You should also try 20x100 meters as hard as you can. By the way, 52 is a good time, a very good time. You should strive for better, always, but on the way be proud of yourself for being able to run that. I'm a distance runner and I wish I could do that.

YES, track is a real sport -- In fact, it is probably the most pure sport in existence.  It's the only non-subjective competition around.  There are no rules, no equipment, and nowhere to place the blame if you lose.\n\nIt is simply "who is the fastest?"  or in distance events, "Who can run the best race?"
