How to construct athletics track flooring?
Athletics is one of the oldest and well-known sports of humankind. The ancient Olympic games were mostly based on athletic sports. Athletics sports are mostly performance-based and technical sports. Also, they are very beneficial for the protection of body health. So, they are as old as people and very practical and beneficial sports.
One another important feature of athletics is the necessity for equipment and special tracks. Of course, you can run wherever you want and you don’t need a special track for certain sports. But, in order to make them properly and prevent sports injuries, you need special tracks and equipment. As Hatko Sports Company, we are experts in constructing certified and the best quality sports tracks and fields. Today, we will talk about athletics track flooring and its types.
Important Issues About Athletics Track Flooring
There are important issues to decide on the type of athletics fields. There are two general types of athletics tracks; professional and amateur. This choice is very important because there are different applications between amateur and professional tracks. The amateur tracks are more simple and also cheaper. But there are more complicated rules and standards about professional fields and of course, they are more expensive.
So finally, we can say that everything is about the necessities. If you will have professional sporters and games at the track, you must have a professional track according to the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) standards. But if your aim is just to have a training field, you don’t have to spend so much and you can have an amateur field.
The track features are very important, especially for professional tracks. As we mentioned before, there are certain rules and standards about flooring that are defined by the IAAF. This organization has made so many researches and investigations related to sporters’ health and performance.
As Hatko Sports Company, we are producing and constructing the best quality material for professional and athletics fields. We have references from 100 countries from 4 different continents. Our references are proof of quality and %100 customer satisfaction.
