The National Indoor Athletics Centre is an indoor track and field athletics sports venue in the Cyncoed area of Cardiff, Wales. It is sited on the Cardiff Metropolitan University Campus and is one of the main facilities used by Welsh Athletics, which organises the Cardiff branch of the Athletics Development Centre at the National Indoor Athletics Centre.
Facilities
The track facilities include:
- 200m, 4 lane banked track
- 60m, 8 lane straight track
- 120m, 6 lane straight track which finishes outside the main arena
The athletic center opened in January 2011 by First Minister Carwyn Jones and Wales football manager Gary Speed, with a Sport and Exercise Medicine Centre that provides facilities for students, athletes and the wider public. There are sports medicine and physiotherapy professionals located on-site with services available to performance level athletes and the general public. The sports medicine practitioners work with athletes and players to identify potential injury risk, in order to prevent injuries from occurring. The centre also has sports psychologists, offering a range of individual or group sessions to help athletes enhance performance.
