“…The starting technique is greatly influenced by the setting of the block positions with regards to spacing and obliquities [8,20,21]. Bezodis, Salo, & Trewartha [3] demonstrated that “a single optimal set position” for everybody is not recommended due to varying physical factors, and therefore sprinters generally find their own preferred distance between the blocks according to sensations or outcomes.…”

“…The importance of anteroposterior inter-block spacing on the sprint movement during the block start phase has been extensively investigated in several studies [3,6,9,12, 2124]. The three main types of block spacing investigated in the literature [20] are the bunched start (spacing generally <30 cm), the medium start (30 to 50 cm) and the elongated start (>50 cm). A number of studies found that the velocity of the centre of mass at block clearing is higher when the inter-block spacing increases due to an increase of force impulse [2,11,22].…”

“…The average time (including reaction time) required to clear both the forward and the rear foot from starting blocks spaced 18 inches or more apart has been reported as only .33 sec. in one study (3) and .50 sec. in another (5).…”
