List of Asian youth records in athletics explained

Asian youth records in the sport of athletics are ratified by the Asian Athletics Association (AAA). They are the all-time best marks set in competition by athletes aged 17 or younger throughout the entire calendar year of the performance and competing for a member nation of the Asian Athletics Association. The AAA maintains a list of youth records only in a specific list of outdoor events. All other records, including all indoor records, shown on this list are tracked by statisticians not officially sanctioned by the governing body.
