Equipment and supplies used in athletics

Basic athletics equipment

The equipment used in athletics varies depending on the competition being practiced. When deciding on a particular sport, you may need the following accessories:

• athletics hurdles,
• starting blocks,
• javelins, discus, hammers or balls,
• crossbars and mattresses for jumping,
• relay batons,
• measuring instruments.

Specific athletics equipment differs in parameters, such as weight, dimensions or the material from which it is made. The choice of equipment used in athletics is always related to its user, so it depends on age, gender, height or level of sophistication. Some of the accessories are also divided into training models and high-performance models, i.e. intended for professional practice of a particular sport.

Buying athletics equipment for sports facilities

Although athletic sports are overwhelmingly individual, their training usually takes place within larger sports facilities. Therefore, it is schools, clubs or playing fields that most often decide to purchase the necessary equipment. Among the basic equipment are, of course, mattresses, allowing the performance of various types of exercises. With a larger number of accessories, racks will also prove necessary, allowing you to store them comfortably. When buying accessories related to throwing sports, it is worth investing in equipment of different sizes. This will allow people of different ages or genders to train.
