Athletics

Introduction

By the late 1800s, popular enthusiasm for all types of physical exercise had caused a boom in participation sports. Athletics was especially popular, and soon became central to the exercise components of national educational systems. Organized athletics thrived in well developed industrial societies and an ever expanding competition programme developed in the schools and universities, in military organizations and private clubs.

The IAAF (International Amateur Athletics federation) was founded in 1912 as the governing authority of the sport. www.iaaf.org
