[1/thread] Now that our new article comparing sprint starts in world-class male sprinters and hurdlers from @IAAForg @WICBham2018 is finally ready to share via @FrontSportsAL, I wanted to share some of the thinking behind how it came together… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
[2] Whilst the body of research on sprint start and initial acceleration mechanics is considerable & growing (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) there is very little in the biomechanics literature examining this phase of the race specifically in high hurdlers
[3] So what? Well, I have never claimed to be an athlete of any great standing, but surely even for the very best hurdlers, putting a 1.07 m barrier in the way only seven steps after being down on all fours must be a significant obstacle to overcome?
