 Spring Track Rascals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In the hurdles, athletes try to spend as much time on the ground sprinting and therefore as little time as possible in the air.
Hurdle height and race distance are adjusted for age and gender.
As the distances of the races increase the hurdling technique is less exaggerated, because the hurdles are lower in height.

 The Hurdle Events - - by Marco Steybe
Hurdling is sprinting over the hurdle, rather than jumping over it.
Hurdle clearance is accomplished by transferring speed (horizontal momentum) vertical at take-off.
Hurdling speed can only be improved by increasing the efficiency of hurdle clearance and the stride rate between hurdles.
