Amateur Athletics is the participation of non professional athletes in athletic sports. In track and field athletics, the focus is on running, throwing and jumping events.

Track and Field events cover a large range of sports including running events such as: cross country; running; long distance running; relay races; sprinting; hurdling; throwing events, such as: shot put; discus throw; javelin throw; hammer throw; and jumping events, such as: triple jump; high jump; and the pole vault.

Track and Field events are popular across the world, including America, England, Jamaica, Italy and Greece. Common injuries that can occur as a result of participating in track and field athletics are contusions, concussions and sprains. Many of the most common injuries track and field athletes experience are due to over exertion of the body. This is especially the case with athletes involved in running events as training involves long periods of repetitive stress on the system.

When partaking in any track or field events it is important to wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and are able to move about in without restricting your movements. Always ensure, though, you have the proper footwear in order to prevent injury. Cross country runners, for example, should wear shoes designed specifically for that sport. Some recommend investing in moisture-wicking clothes, as they keep the athlete more comfortable. Moisture-wicking socks in particular can keep athletes feet dry and help prevent blisters from developing.
