Track and Field Clothing

All About Track and Field Clothing

Most track and field athletes wear socks, shorts and some type of t-shirt while competing. The tightness of your clothing depends on the sport you are competing in. Most running and speed events require tight fitting clothing to allow for maximum speed, while cutting down on resistance and drag. Some athletes in events such as high jump prefer looser clothing. Make sure that whatever event you are in your clothing doesn't interfere with your movement and flexibility. Make sure your clothing fits properly and meets all rules and regulations. Track suits and warm up suits are also common in track and field. Clothing comes in various styles, materials, sizes and colors.
