Lesson 4:
The Arm Split
This lesson focuses on the "standing arm split" drill, designed to improve reaction time and acceleration mechanics. Athletes practice arm explosions and coordinated movements to simulate the first steps out of the starting blocks. The drill reinforces proper sprinting posture, dynamic arm movement, and smooth acceleration transitions for more powerful starts.
