The all-fours position of a runner at the start of a sprint. 4, record 1, English, - crouch%20start
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
One of the goals of the sprint start is to generate the maximum amount of horizontal momentum. In order to do this, the athlete must generate large anterior-directed (forward) ground reaction forces during each step. 5, record 1, English, - crouch%20start
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A crouched start is more effective than a standing start as it places the sprinter in a position well ahead of the feet and thus the runner must accelerate very quickly or else fall. 6, record 1, English, - crouch%20start

Le départ accroupi, l’attitude quadrupédique, est depuis longtemps, l’attitude classique du coureur de vitesse et du coureur du 110 m haies au départ. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9part%20accroupi

Desipres (1972) mesure l’accélération pendant la première seconde et compare le départ agenouillé au départ élevé. [...] Son étude le conduit à préférer le départ agenouillé, car les temps de réaction du pied arrière et du pied avant sont plus courts. Il explique ceci par la position du centre de masse qui serait plus près des mains. Le départ agenouillé permet aussi une plus grande accélération et une vitesse horizontale du centre de masse plus importante. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9part%20accroupi

INITIATION AU DÉPART ACCROUPI. Expliquez aux élèves que le départ accroupi se compose de quatre étapes : position «À VOS MARQUES!», position «PRÊTS!», PROPULSION et ACCÉLÉRATION. «À VOS MARQUES!»-le sprinter se place derrière la ligne de départ, en position accroupie, les pieds appuyés sur les blocs. «PRÊTS!»-le sprinter soulève le bassin le plus haut possible. PROPULSION-au commandement «Partez!»(ou au coup de pistolet), le sprinter se propulse hors des blocs et prend sa première foulée. ACCÉLÉRATION-le sprinter augmente sa vitesse et de redresse. 4, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9part%20accroupi

Dans la technique «Russe», le javelot est ramené à hauteur de la tête avec un mouvement circulaire du bras allongé vers le haut et l'arrière. Après le placement se produit une accélération supplémentaire entre la seconde et la 3e foulée avec un enchaînement rapide des appuis Droit-Gauche et pose des pieds à plat.
