You all have heard the name Usain Bolt the fastest runner in the world, everyone says he does running, he pursued running in sports but if I say this kind of running has a name so what will be your reaction! Yes, this type of short-distance running at the topmost speed of the body in a limited period is called "Sprinting". It is used in many sports that incorporate running, typically as a way of quickly reaching a target or goal, or avoiding or catching an opponent. Three sprints are currently held at the modern Summer Olympics and outdoor World Championships: the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters. Sprint races were part of the original Olympic Games in the 7th century B.C. as well as the first modern Olympic games which started in the late 19th century (Athens 1896) featured 100 meters and 400 meters. At the professional level, sprinters begin the race by assuming a crouching position in the starting blocks before driving forward and gradually moving into an upright position as the race progresses and momentum is gained. While genetics play a large role in one's ability to sprint, athletes must be dedicated to their training to ensure that they can optimize their performances. Sprint training includes various running workouts, targeting acceleration, speed development, speed endurance, special endurance, and tempo endurance. Have you ever done Sprinting with your friends?
