Changes in force and velocity during the sprint start with different front & rear block angles
Introduction One of the factors influencing the sprint start is the ability of the athlete to attain a high force generation out of the starting blocks, therefore to increase start velocity an athlete must improve their power output during the start (Baumann, 1976); however very few studies have considered how these variables are affected by altering front and rear starting block angle. The aim of this study to evaluate the influence of different combinations of front (FBA) and rear block angels (RBA) upon force generation at each block, and to consider the forces in relation to the sprinting speed in the initial phase of the race.
