Sprint Start - Analysis of a Block Start by an Elite Athlete
Here we take a look at the sprint start of a very fast athlete.
A block start is an essential part of the toolbox of any sprinter and it is very complicated to get 100% right.
Here this athlete has many of the elements needed to achieve a fast start, but there are still things he can work on to make this even better.
We look at some of the mechanics that go into making this the quickest start possible, not just for the first couple of steps seen here, but to be taken into the rest of the race as he accelerates to top speed.
Shin angles, hip placement, contact times and much more are all needed to be made ideal in order to start as fast as possible.
We'll show you how to get faster, faster.
