Sprinting is running over a short distance in a limited period of time. 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. Human physiology dictates that a runner's near-top speed cannot be maintained for more than 30–35 seconds due to the depletion of phosphocreatine stores in muscles, and perhaps secondarily to excessive metabolic acidosis as a result of anaerobic glycolysis.

Starting

• For dashes, three-command starts are used. This means “on your marks,” “set” and a go signal like a starter’s pistol. For longer runs, two-command starts are utilized, so runners only hear “on your marks” before the start signal, according to ASEP.

False Starts

• When a runner gets set, she needs to remain still. Moving results in a false start, advises ASEP. The number of false starts runners are allowed varies by program. Under the Hershey’s Track and Field program, for example, runners get one false start before being disqualified.

Relay Baton

• If a relay team member drops a baton outside of the exchange zone, he can pick it up if he is not interfering with other runners. This runner is required to return to the lane he’s assigned to before exiting the exchange zone or his team gets disqualified, according to “Officiating Track and Field and Cross Country,” by ASEP.

Lane Changes

• Runners are not allowed to impede other competitors. That means runners need to know when to stay in their lanes and when it’s appropriate to “cut in,” or pass. If cutting in makes another runner break his stride to avoid colliding, then the runner who cut committed an infraction. A runner who passes and cuts in has to be entirely ahead of the other runners, according to the ASEP.
