Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Track and Field written by Peter Matthews and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the earliest evidence of organized running can be traced back to Egypt in 3800 BCE, the modern sport of track and field evolved from rural games and church and folk festivals, and rules were drawn up in the final quarter of the 19th century in those advanced societies where enough people had the leisure time to indulge their fancies. Today, in addition to the running events, track and field includes such events as the high jump, pole vault, long jump, shot, discus, javelin, hammer, and decathlon. The Historical Dictionary of Track and Field covers the history of this sport through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies within the sport. This book is an excellent access point for researchers, students, and anyone wanting to know more about the history of track and field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Track and Field Athletics Again, there is the physical benefit that comes from a rational indulgence in outdoor sports. The whole tendency of athletics works for good. The athlete abstains from liquor and tobacco. He does not eat unwholesome food. Exercise, bathing, and rubbing down keep his body clean and healthy. At the same time his mind is filled with healthy, natural outdoor 1deals. He is not growing old too fast in an endeavor to rival the pathetic figure of the London gamin who says, I'm ten years old, but if yer goes by the things I know, I'm most a hundred.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Track and Field Athletics The high place which athletic sports and exercises occupy in our national life is a fact not open to argument. While we very properly encourage all branches of athletics and follow with interest the careers and records of those who excel in each particular branch, it is peculiarly in keeping with what the founders of our constitution were wont to term "the genius of our institutions" that we should bend our best energies towards encouraging sports which are not restricted to a favored few, but are open to the people as a whole. Thus it is fitting that track and field sports should occupy an important position in the domain of athletic exercises. Football is confined largely to the Universities and Colleges; baseball consumes a great deal of time, tennis and golf take time and money as well; but track and field athletics, to borrow an expression used by ex-President Cleveland in speaking of the ideal democracy, seem particularly designed to "give the rank and file a chance."
