obstacle design

Obstacle design involves creating physical barriers or challenges, such as hurdles or walls, to test or improve skills, agility, and problem-solving abilities. It requires careful planning to ensure obstacles are safe, effective, and suitable for the intended purpose—whether for sports, training, or safety. Factors considered include the obstacle's size, shape, placement, and the materials used, all aimed at encouraging optimal movement, challenge, and fair competition. Good obstacle design balances difficulty with safety, facilitating skill development while minimizing risk of injury.
