atlétikai

Atlétikai is a Hungarian adjective meaning related to athletics. It derives from atlétika, the term for the discipline that encompasses track and field activities such as running, jumping, and throwing. In common usage, atlétikai describes things connected with athletic activity, sports practice, or the equipment and facilities used for sport.

For example, atlétikai edzés refers to training for athletic performance, atlétikai ruházat means clothing suitable for sport, and atlétikai létesítmények are facilities designed for track and field or general athletic use. The noun atlétika is also used to name the sport itself (track and field) in Hungarian.

Historically, modern athletics developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with national associations and international bodies establishing standardized rules. The international governing body for the sport is World Athletics (formerly the IAAF), which oversees world championships and competition rules. Athletics is a core discipline in the Olympic Games, featuring running, jumping, throwing, and combined events such as the decathlon and heptathlon.
