Looking into Block Starts.
Published by
To determine the approximate placement of the feet, tell your sprinters to put both knees on the track as close to the starting line without touching the starting line. Knees are bent at 90 degrees. Get down on all fours extending the body over the starting line. Your hands will be approximately one foot and one-half to two feet in front of the starting line. Hands are directly under the shoulders and toes are curled under. Mark the placement of the quick foot. The front pedal is closet to the starting line. The foot of the leg that is placed on the front pedal is your quick leg.
