Uses the 200 meter sprint as an example and slow-motion and live-action photography to demonstrate training and performance in high-speed competitive running. Includes demonstrations of warm-up activites--such as jogging and stretching exercises to loosen and strengthen muscles, and speed up muscle activity; sprint drills--to improve leg speed, knee lift, leg extension, and pull-back of the arms; and starting drills--including the use of blocks and tests of acceleration. Views of actual competition show the strong explosive running style characteristic of the sprint.
