Short Sprint Starts

What you will learn

Practise controlled acceleration rather than maximum effort. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Warm up with easy walking and movement on a safe, level surface.
2. Warm up thoroughly and mark a short clear lane.
3. Begin in a comfortable standing start and gradually build speed over the first steps.
4. Slow down smoothly before the end of the lane.
5. Rest between attempts and finish with easy walking.

Coaching tips

• Quality matters more than racing.
• Stay relaxed and take breaks when needed.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
