Cardio exercise

Sprinting (200m)

How to do it

Start from a standing or blocks start on a curved section of track, angling the body slightly into the turn.
Accelerate hard over the opening strides, then settle into a controlled maximal-speed rhythm.
Keep the knees driving high and the biceps femoris and quadriceps working through a full stride extension around the bend.
Rotate the arms in a compact front-to-back swing to help hold balance through the curve.
Maintain a near-maximal effort pace through the straightaway, breathing in short forceful bursts.
Resist the common fault of over-striding late in the distance, keeping stride length consistent as the calves fatigue.
