Sprint Start

It is very important to use all of the power from your legs in a sprint start.  Notice how the sprinter in the foreground is driving off of his back leg and driving to full extension.  This a very violent and explosive movement.  The arms are being driven as well and are almost over exaggerated to speed up the leg explosion.  The sprinter will then use several of his first strides to drive his body into the upright sprinting position.
