The principle of measuring and comparing performances of different events, ages and gender has been modeled by various instances and persons.
Die beginsel om verskillende prestasies oor die grense van items, ouderdom en geslag te vergelyk is deur verskeie persone en instansies gemoduleer.
The first tables to be used in athletics was the declathon tables used during the 1912 olympic games.
Die eerste tabelle bekend was die wat tydens die 1912 olimpiese spele gebruik was in die meting van die deklaton.
The most commonly known tables with recognition in the athletic community are the IAAF tables, the Hungarian tables and the Portuguese tables. All of these came about in 1962 but they just concentrate on senior athletics.
Die mees algemene tablelle met erkenning in die atletiek gemeenskaap is die IAAF tabelle, die Hongaarse tabelle en die Portugese tablelle. Al hierdie tabelle is in 1962 in gebruik geneem maar hulle konsentreer slegs op senior atletiek.
The only other school table is used by the english school sport association and it is a verry simple table from 1 to 28 points and only for two age groups (17 and 19).

Dr Williams also developed a table for seniors but the IAAF table is still used. The top scores in the IAAF tables are continually updated with world performance ranking values but the lower end of the table is under suspicion as it uses a linear relation in the table which does not reflect the logarithmic nature of performance improvement.
Dr Williams het ook ‘n senior tabel ontwikkel maar die mees algemeen gebruikte tabel is steeds die IAAF tabel wat voortdurend bygewerk met die data van die top prestasies. Die ondekant van die tabel is egter onder verdenking aangesien dit ‘n reglynige verband het en nie die logaritmiese natuur van prestasie ontwikkeling in ag neem nie.
