On this page of the company's online store " Sports technology» provides information on the comprehensive equipment of indoor athletics arenas. Such work is divided into two types:
- Complete turnkey equipment of the arena for newly built facilities, facilities after reconstruction or repair.
- Retrofitting, completing or updating existing equipment and inventory.
Athletics arenas are indoor sports facilities with a multifunctional sports core for conducting training sessions and athletics competitions.
In accordance with the requirements of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the athletics arena is a class V structure. It usually includes the following elements:
- main arena;
- gym;
- general physical training hall;
- acrobatics hall;
- massage;
- administrative block.
The main arena houses the following objects:
- oval circular running track 200 meters long;
- straight paths 60 meters long for sprint running and hurdles;
- training treadmills (for practicing the start, developing speed qualities);
- sectors for shot put, javelin, discus and hammer throw;
- sectors for long jumps, high jumps and pole vaults.
Next to the indoor facility there is an outdoor sports infrastructure: running tracks for training and competitions in the summer, various outdoor playing fields, street exercise machines etc.
According to IAAF requirements, competitive athletics arenas must be equipped with:
- Equipment for timing, photo finish and false start.
- An information board with electronic means of measuring and displaying the result, as well as the output of operational information to a central computer.
Since 1995, the IAAF has approved uniform standards in the construction and operation of sports facilities. In accordance with them, the comprehensive equipment of athletics arenas includes the following sequence of work:
- Drawing up picking lists, placement plans (if necessary) and estimates, assistance in preparing technical specifications for the purchase (if necessary), providing data for the sports facility passport.
- Laying sports flooring. It is necessary to lay many types of coatings simultaneously, depending on the purpose of the sector or room. Modern coatings should dampen the negative impact of intense loads on the musculoskeletal system and at the same time facilitate the development of necessary skills. For example, the standards provide for a landfill with coatings that have different elastic-dynamic properties.
- Installation of stands (stationary, prefabricated, collapsible, telescopic, etc.), tunnels, referee seats, etc.
- Installation sports equipment(linear-modular equipment for assessing running technique, athletics racks and bars, barriers for running, starting blocks, barrier and dividing nets, marking of sports fields, as well as complex equipment for gyms, general physical training halls, acrobatics, etc.).
- Arrangement of locker rooms and equipment storage areas, supply of athletics accessories, throwing equipment and other sports equipment, as well as safety, covering and children's mats.
- Testing equipment in test mode.
- Delivery and acceptance of work.
When carrying out complex equipment of athletics arenas, we take into account four important factors:
- Quality. The issue of ensuring compliance of such facilities with Russian and international standards requires an expert level of knowledge, since the Russian SNiPs currently used (SNiP 2.08.02-85, SNiP 11-76-78 “Sports Facilities”, VNS 46-86 “Sports and Physical Education health facilities"), and new applications to them have significant features and some differences with the IAAF requirements.
- Safety. Compliance with safety requirements, c. incl. standards SP 332.1325800.2017. Sports facilities. Design rules.
- Functional. Taking into account all the requirements of the IAAF, ARAF (All-Russian Athletics Federation), requirements for sports and parameters of technical compatibility of equipment, requirements for the size and zoning of various training areas and adjacent premises.
- Budget. The right choice configuration options based on the purpose: universal or special, and the level (amateur, professional, international class) of the athletics arena.
Without special training and experience, it is almost impossible to competently combine these factors. Trust us: we will solve all organizational issues ourselves, select the necessary equipment in accordance with the technical requirements of the project, as well as the requirements of the IAAF, ARAF, SP and GOST R, and as a result draw up a competent specification (pick list), combining many groups of equipment and inventory for different types sports

As a result of the calculation, linear forces in walls and forces in columns, shearing and bending forces in lintels, span and support moments in floor slabs were determined. As a result of the DCS calculation, reinforcement of all load-bearing elements was assigned. The calculations of load-bearing structures are focused on the use of the finite element method in the form of the displacement method (FEM). The division of the plate elements of the building into finite elements is assigned taking into account that the internal forces determined by the calculation in the center of each finite element correspond to the actual operation of the structure. In the design diagram, the connections between foundations, columns and floors are assumed to be rigid. The calculation of the floors was carried out for the total load, taking into account own weight the design of the slab, floor, partitions, equipment, people, taking into account the corresponding overload factors for strength and crack resistance. As a result of the DCS calculation, reinforcement of all load-bearing elements was assigned. The calculation was carried out taking into account the joint work of all building structures, foundations and the base of the building. To take into account the joint work of building structures with the foundation at the level of the bottom of the piles, elastic connections were introduced into the calculation scheme, simulating the elastic work of the soil and uneven settlement. 6 f. description and justification of technical solutions that ensure the necessary strength, stability, spatial immutability of buildings and structures of a capital construction project as a whole, as well as their individual structural elements, assemblies, parts during the manufacturing, transportation, construction and operation of a capital construction project. The spatial rigidity of the ACB is ensured by the horizontal discs of the floors and the rigidity of the frame. Stair units form the rigid core of the building. To absorb the pushing force in the walls and columns, at the places where they interface with the floor slab, capitals are provided. The spacing of load-bearing columns and piers is irregular and is dictated by architectural requirements. The immutability of the arena's metal covering is ensured by a continuous disk formed by the flooring, fixed to the purlins. The purlins secure the upper chords of the trusses. The upper and lower chords of the trusses are decoupled from the plane by vertical braced trusses and spacers.
In this article we will talk about such a necessary place for sports as an athletics arena. Photos, design, opening, features of conducting classes and much more about this object can be found here.
Athletics arena - what is it?
There are many varieties of these infrastructure facilities. Among them are equestrian, circus and sports. We will analyze the latter in detail.
An athletics arena is a room designed for running and athletics competitions in the winter. It can be used for both speed and endurance training, in case you suddenly decide to participate in a marathon. The length of the indoor track and field arena, which has an oval shape, is about 200 meters. It consists of 4-6 tracks separated from each other and having a width of 0.9-1.1 m, as well as sectors necessary for jumping sports.
The size of the track should allow competitions to be held in a straight line at a distance of up to 60 meters. The free space before the start line should not be less than 3 meters, and after the finish - at least 10-15 meters. The optimal length of the track is 200 m in a circle, with a turning radius of no less than 11 m and no more than 21 m. Typically, the bends of such sites have an inclination angle, which is most often 18 degrees. His role is to help athletes go the distance during turns.
Separate competitions, which are held in an indoor facility, belong to one sport - shot put. As a rule, there is no specialized sector for this. Athletes occupy space in other sectors and hence, while in such places, it is very important to keep an eye on what is happening around you to avoid unnecessary injuries and troubles.
Features in design
A general idea of what an athletics arena is is given. But much still remains unclear. Let's look at how athletics arenas are designed. As a rule, each such facility is built as a separate building or part of a sports complex with many halls inside. It most often contains tracks for circular walking and running, as well as tracks designed for high-speed movement in a straight line. There is at least one place for shot put, long jump, and practice throwing discus and javelin. An important factor, which is taken into account when determining the size of the hall, is the length of the track intended for running. Depending on this, places for shot putting are designed.
How do some foreign arenas differ from Russian ones?
Let's look at some of the features of these objects. For some time now, foreign playpens have acquired one significant advantage - versatility. They are intended for both light activities athletics, as well as for other sports. This allows us to expand the range of opportunities that athletes can engage in on such a site.
Basic Requirements
A more convenient and optimal track length for starting at different distances is considered to be 200 m. Another distance is allowed, but not less than 160 meters. A running track may have turns, the radius of which is not less than 11 m, but not more than 20 m. To move in a circle at the turns of the track, turns are needed. In the place where the slope is the greatest value, the level of steepness should be within 10-18 degrees.
A few words about the opening
After the design sports arena is coming to an end, the long, labor-intensive process of construction and implementation of plans for its arrangement begins. Only after all this is completed will it be possible to begin meeting guests and athletes. The opening of an athletics arena is a significant event that both athletes and their coaches always look forward to. This is because building a new training space is a fairly rare event. The opening ceremony takes place, after which the arena is ready to receive its first visitors.
Classes
Now there is one more question worth asking. How are classes conducted in the athletics arena? After the facility opened its doors to us, the future athlete will have to choose one of the possible types of athletics. You can do race walking, running or jumping. But why do we need this? Firstly, exercises from this “element” can help improve your health. Secondly, training affects everything muscle groups, strengthen the movement apparatus, improve the function of the respiratory and cardiac organs. Classes are available to everyone, except those with health restrictions. It is advisable to exercise only with a professional trainer.
Each arena has an arena. And the arena, in turn, depending on the capabilities, may have the following: several tracks for running 200 m and 60 m, sectors for javelin throwing, discus throwing, shot put, and jumping. Also, almost every such facility has everything necessary for the comfort of an athlete, from a locker room, shower and locker for storing things to the equipment necessary for running, wall bars and gyms in which you can perform necessary exercises and exercise with weights. But everything has its price. In order to visit this place you will need to purchase a subscription, and its cost will depend on many factors. As in any sports institution, in each arena there are a number of rules of conduct and safety precautions that must be followed. Below we will present only those that are applicable to any athletics arena.
First of all, on the paths you need to move counterclockwise. Warm up before gymnastic exercises occurs outside the "track". Such things as sudden changes of paths, their crossing and the opposite are strictly prohibited general movement. Also a small warning: before entering the path you need to look to the left so as not to collide with a person already moving along it.
Conclusion
The athletics arena is a place for training athletics in the winter season. In each such place there are tracks 200 and 60 meters long, places for shot put and javelin and discus throwing, Swedish walls and a gym. Some of them may be intended not only for athletics, but also for other sports. The design of playpens is carried out by professionals, taking into account all the necessary dimensions. The opening of new venues occurs quite rarely and this is a truly significant event, and classes in such complexes require the implementation of certain rules. I believe that now the reader has a clear idea of this sports place. Happy training!

Vladimir Shmalenyuk, member running club Running Expert:
Pros of CSKA: big, there is something to breathe, a good elastic track for speed training, a lot of accompanying elements for athletics.
Cons: high price, locker room with cockroaches, disgusting shower, broken, open until 21:00, no normal wardrobe and no opportunity to return your things. Lots of kids working out.
Alexander Golovin, head coach running club Running Expert:
CSKA is too far from the metro (about 1.5 km) and very expensive, although the time is not controlled. Advantage: there is a warm-up track and people jog along it, and “work” can be done on a 200-meter circle. The slope of the turn is specific - it is good only when running fast; at a pace slower than 4 min/km it can be uncomfortable.
Margarita Grigorieva, parkrun Vernadskogo:
The playpen is good and spacious. Cons: distance from the metro, high price, stuffy, uncomfortable locker rooms. Showers with cockroaches. It's difficult to navigate the corridors. An extremely incomprehensible and long procedure for paying for the entrance ticket. First, you wait your turn at the terminals (there are only two of them!), then you need to go to the administrator to have your ticket endorsed, to the security guard, and only after that you are allowed into the arena.

The modern arena at the Moscow Construction University opened in September last year. As stated on the university website, in addition to students here, “they will be able to study and professional athletes- members of national teams of various levels, and residents of the north-east of Moscow.” But for now the arena doors are closed to amateur runners. the site took this address “by pencil”. We will inform you when the hall becomes available for runners.
