The hurdles arose, like many modern track and field events, in the nineteenth century in England. The first obstacle course was, as far as is known, held in 1837 on the Eton College in Oxford, about 100 yards. The obstacles weeks rather different from the current hurdles. The upper part consisted of branches and reeds, so that when touched by the hordes of injuries could not lack. From 1845 the hurdles belongs to the sports program of the English universities. Since 1864, the hurdles in-competition is practiced where the height of the hurdles 3.5 foot (106.7 cm) was, this height is also now still at the 110 meters hurdles in men. At this discipline is leading up to the first hurdle 13.72 metres, the distance between the hurdles 9,14 meters, the spout to the finish line is 14.02 metres. The unusual sizes arise from the English measurement system.

The hurdles for women dating from the 1920s. Was officially established in 1932, with a distance of 80 metres a distance of eight metres and between a horde of 76.2 inches. After the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, the International Athletics Federation IAAF changes, because ' a new distance and dimensions better matches the performance development of the female '. Since 1969, the women's 100 meters, with a horde of 84.0 cm. the run-up is 13 meters, the mean distance is 8.50 meters and the spout 10.50 meters. ==Accommodation and rules[ Edit] == The horde consists of a metal tube construction with a height-adjustable U-shaped upper part with a painted wooden bovenlat in black and white. They are up to 1.2 m wide and as built, that they had overturned at a pressure larger than 3.6 kilograms. The obstacles in the 400 m hurdles with spaced 35 feet, drawn up before the first hurdle is 45 metres and the spout from the final hurdle to the finish is 40 metres.

The athlete should all hurdles overthrowing (just not with the hands). That is not contrary to the regulations. However, it takes time and it brings the participant mostly out of his rhythm. The runner who leaves his job or skip a horde, with one leg along the hurdle instead of over it, is disqualified. ==Technique<span class="mw-editsection" len="325" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Besides qualities as a balanced pasritme as well as the hurdles sprinter asks a good hurdle technique. The fit over the horde should be incorporated in the course harmonious rhythm thereby the pure sprint to approach as close as possible. Every runner will for itself the most effective individually different length of the pass and the number of passes to the first hurdle and between the need to find other hurdles. Dribbling between the hurdles and extending the pass to find the rhythm back takes time.

The technique is of course adapted to the height of the hurdles. From the bent starting position point the Hurdler is faster than the sprinter. To after the relatively short run up to the first hurdle this sure to be able to take and with maximum speed, he puts about two feet off of the obstacle for the flat hordepas. He comes with the swing leg not in difficulty. Above the almost entirely stretched almost double flips the upper body swing leg. Immediately after the swing leg passed the horde, it is for the benefit of the landing powerful pushed down. The upper body is reconstituted at the same time and the jump leg side angled Furthermore involved, after which the sprint is continuing. The poor, those in the walking rhythm meezwaaien, provide the balance.

That is mainly because the rational walking rhythm on these long distance ten times interrupted, which is quite a bit of energy. The hordepas is not so short and the bending of the upper body not as deep as the 110 m or 100 m hurdles. In its place, however, just as with the 400 metres sprint, endurance and turns technique. Runners with long legs are in favor on the horde numbers. Smaller runners compensate the lack of long legs often through increased mobility of the hip joint.
