“…It is interesting to note that the foot initiation of energetic human bipedal locomotion (when sprinting off from starting blocks) shows a similar nondominant side specialization for spatial body stabilization (Eikenberry et al, 2008).…”

Human dexterity, bipedality, and song/speech vocalization in Homo are reviewed within a motor evolution perspective in regard to (i) brain expansion in cerebello-cerebral circuitry, (ii) enhanced predictive internal modeling of body kinematics, body kinetics and action organization, (iii) motor mastery due to prolonged practice, (iv) task-determined top-down, and accurately timed feedforward motor adjustment of multiple-body/artifact elements, and (v) reduction in automatic preflex/spinal reflex mechanisms that would otherwise restrict such top-down processes.Dual-task interference and developmental neuroimaging research argues that such internal modeling based motor capabilities are concomitant with the evolution of (vi) enhanced attentional, executive function and other high-level cognitive processes, and that (vii) these provide dexterity, bipedality and vocalization with effector nonspecific neural resources.The possibility is also raised that such neural resources could (viii) underlie human internal model based nonmotor cognitions.

“…Most often, sprinters are encouraged to select a specific leg based on preference, rather than performance. 8 In the human body, each limb is controlled by the opposite cerebral hemisphere. Because of this unique relationship between each limb and its contralateral hemisphere, Eikenbery et al 8 hypothesized that a particular limb may have special access to the specific capabilities of the corresponding cerebral hemisphere, with potential to gateway neurological advantages to improve overall sprint performance.…”

Because of this unique relationship between each limb and its contralateral hemisphere, Eikenbery et al 8 hypothesized that a particular limb may have special access to the specific capabilities of the corresponding cerebral hemisphere, with potential to gateway neurological advantages to improve overall sprint performance. While the right hemisphere has been identified for its role in spatial and attention processing, such as the detection of a signal 9 , the left hemisphere has been identified for its specialization in the execution of muscle forces.…”

“…Movement time is the onset of the response until the end of the movement. 8 In the sprint start, movement time is monitored from the end of reaction time, when the force by the rear foot on starting block is 0 Newtons, to when the same foot has completed its first successful strike on the ground. Total response time in the sprint start is the time interval that begins at the onset of the "go" signal and halts at the completion of the movement, the first foot strike.…”

Performance in the 100 m sprint is influenced by a multitude of factors including starting strategy, stride length, stride frequency, physiological demands, biomechanics, neural influences, muscle composition, anthropometrics, and track and environmental conditions. The sprint start, the accelerative phase of the race, depends greatly on muscular power. INTRODUCTIONThe shortest existing competition in outdoor track and field running events is the 100 m sprint. As in any sprint race, the primary objective of the 100 m sprint is to cover the designated distance in the shortest time possible. Historically, the race has been recognized as a focal component of track and field, as the man and woman who owns the gender-specific world record in the 100 m sprint also traditionally carries the prominent title of "world's fastest athlete".
