Experience and Set in the Running Sprint Start Journal Articles

abstract

• This study examined the influence of experience and instructional set on the running sprint start. As expected, experience affected reaction time only in track-specific situations. While instructional set did not influence reaction time, experienced sprinters were able to cover the first 1.5 m of distance (movement time) more quickly when they adopted a motor as opposed to a sensory set.
