This volume explains the natural movements involved in running, jumping, and throwing, from which the disciplines of athletics have developed. The main focus is on beginner and student athletics (ages 10-14). It also includes a look back at children's athletics (ages 6-9) and a preview of youth athletics (ages 15-18). The book is aimed at physical education teachers, coaches, and trainers who want to implement a diverse foundational athletic training in practical programs offered by schools and clubs. Additionally, sports students and trainees in physical education can gain a clear understanding of fundamental knowledge about athletic theory, age-appropriate techniques for athletic skills, and methodological-didactic ideas for practice and training.
