    Learn the basic rules and safety instructions below that apply to each of the six track and field specialty
    possibilities.
    I.- SHORT RACE
    Basic rules
    When starting, you must not touch the line or step on it before the shot that indicates the start of the race.
    Runners must stay on their path.
    Two false starts are enough to disqualify a runner.
    Safety instructions
    Do warm-up exercises until your entire body is fit before you start.
    Don't jump when you reach the final tape.
    Do not practice games before warming up.
    II.- LONG DISTANCE RACE

    Respect the other participants.
    Observe all rules that have to do with racing. (Look for them in an industry manual.

    The runner can knock down any number of hurdles.

    Keep your guiding leg straight.
    IV.- HIGH JUMP
    Basic rules
    Three attempts are allowed at each height.
    The participant must jump with only one foot.
    Each of these cases will be considered an attempt: knocking down the pole, passing under it, crossing it with the body
    extended or leaving the terrain.
    Safety instructions
    Learn to land on one foot or both; not on the hands or with the whole body.
    Do not jump when the starting point is slippery.
    Always make sure there is a cavity or mat where you are going to land, so you can "land" safely.
    V.- LONG JUMP
    Basic rules
    When the top line is touched or crossed over it, it is considered a foul and is counted as one attempt.
    The jump will be measured taking into account the right angle formed between the top board and the "landing" point
    closest to the starting point.
    Instructions regarding safety.
    To warm up, do it gradually with a series of short, easy jumps.
    Wear shoes suitable for jumping, with medium heels or rubber cushions on the heels.
    Keep the "landing" spot or mats you are going to land on in good condition.

    After passing the baton, the participant must remain in his or her lane until all other runners have passed.
