The primary action of a sprinter during a race is to run at maximum speed. Sprinters specialize in short-distance events, typically ranging from 60 to 400 meters, where explosive power and quick acceleration are critical. The race begins from a starting block, and sprinters rely on their technique and training to reach high speeds quickly. Proper form, bursts of energy, and efficient use of stride length contribute to their overall performance, aiming for the best time in the competition.
