kergejõustikuväljak

Kergejõustikuväljak, also known as an athletics field or track and field stadium, is a purpose-built facility designed for the practice and competition of track and field athletics. These venues typically feature a standard oval-shaped running track, usually made of synthetic material like polyurethane, which surrounds a central field area. The track is marked with lanes for different running events, such as sprints, middle-distance, and long-distance races, as well as hurdles and steeplechase.

The central field is equipped for various field events. This includes areas for jumping disciplines like long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault, with specific surfaces and landing pits. Throwing events, such as shot put, discus, hammer throw, and javelin, have designated sectors and throwing circles within or around the field. Often, a javelin runway extends from the field.

Kergejõustikuväljak venues can range from simple community facilities to large, professional stadiums with seating for spectators. They are essential for schools, sports clubs, and international athletic competitions, providing the necessary infrastructure for athletes to perform a wide array of track and field disciplines safely and effectively. The design and dimensions of these fields adhere to international standards set by governing bodies like World Athletics.
