Hurdles
A Hurdle is a light-weighted, portable barrier over which competitors have to jump during the hurdle races. The hurdle frame consists of two vertical uprights (generally made of metallic alloys or fibers) on which a horizontal bar is kept. The horizontal bar is manufactured using materials like PVC, Foam or Fiber, to avoid any injury to the runner while jumping. The horizontal bar is not firmly attached to the frame because it may harm the runner in case of hitting the bar. The height of the hurdle is adjustable depending upon the various types of athletic events.
