Sprinit race
- 1. What is sprint • Sprints are short running events in athletics and track and field. Races over short distances are among the oldest running competitions There are three sprinting events 100 metres, 200 metres, and 400 metres.
- 2. Running Gear for Sprinters • Sprinters just need a vest and shorts and a pair of spikes for racing. In addition to this some warm clothing such as sweatshirt and tracksuits trouser are needed for warming up. Trainers should also be worn during warm ups and warm downs.
- 3. Sprints Training for Speed sprinting speed is about two things, moving your legs fast and getting a good stride length on each stride. To maximise these things we will split into 3 parts. • Technique Development • Cadence • Power
- 4. 100m / 200m / 400m Sprint The 100m, 200m and 400m Sprints are track events that require pure speed and power. Powerful leg muscles provide fast acceleration and top speed. Runners may use blocks at the start of a race to reduce air resistance, therefore maximizing speed and acceleration. Special running shoes with spikes on the bottom of the sole provide runners with extra grip making them run faster.
- 5. 100m • The 100m race is the shortest outdoor sprint race distance in athletics. During the 100m, sprinters usually reach top speed somewhere between 50-60m into the race and then slow progressively towards the finish line. The primary focus of training for the 100m, is maintaining the top speed for as long as possible. The 100m is usually run on the home straight on an outdoor 400m running track. The start is set on an extension to make it a straight line race
- 6. The 5 Components of the 100m sprint • Reaction time • Starting ability • Acceleration • Maintaining speed • Overcoming deceleration
- 7. 200m sprint • The 200-meter dash or sprint is a track-and- field event, half the distance of the 400 m oval track. Runners begin in starting blocks staggered around a curve in designated lanes so all have run the same distance at the finish line .
- 8. How to Run the 200 Meter sprint:- There are some instructions for 200m • Keep your head down out of the blocks as you drive through your start. Build speed, but stay relaxed. • Run the first quarter of the race at about 80 percent of your maximum effort. Pushing too hard will leave you without enough energy to finish strong, but you still need to get up to your maximum speed in a relatively short period of time • Pull your head up and slowly come out of your drive phase around the 30 meter mark. • Turn your right shoulder across your body as you run through the turn and onto the final straight. • Run at full speed from the 50 meter mark to the 150 meter mark. If you fatigue before the finish line, then you'll only have to hold onto your position for the last 50 meter .
- 9. 400m sprint The 400 meter sprint is one of the most challenging events in track and field. At all levels, it requires speed endurance and technique because of the qualities necessary to excel in it. Maximum sprint speed capability is a significant contributing factor to success but the 400 meter athlete also requires substantial speed endurance to sustain a fast speed over a whole lap. The 400-meter sprint, for example, requires a combination of speed, strength, power and endurance to maximize your performance.
- 10. 400-METER RULES HEATS Runners go through heats, or preliminary races, to eliminate the slower competitors. This means the final race is run by the fastest competitors . START The 400-meter dash utilizes a staggered start to equalize the distance for all of the competitors, Starting blocks are allowed in the 400-meter race. All races begin with a report from the starter's gun after "on your marks" and "set" commands, according to the International Association of Athletics Federations. DISQUALIFICATION An athlete who makes a false start gets one warning. After that, the runner is disqualified from the race. A runner also can be disqualified for jostling or obstructing another athlete to impede her progress, according to the IAA
