In the 100m sprint there are a few skills/techniques, which you can develop such as:

  • Striding, (which I previously chose as my skill)
  • Sprint start, sometimes using the blocks.
  • Slowly rising your body while running in the region of 15-25 metres from the start.
  • Sometimes people who run the 100 metres start leaning their body forward as they are getting closer to the finishing line. This is because there are other sprinters in the other lanes who also want to win the race and this kind of skill may help them to push their body across the finish line before the other sprinters cross.

The most important factors concerning my ability are gross motor ability and psychomotor ability. Gross motor ability involves actual movement, strength and speed. Psychomotor is the ability to process information regarding movement and then to put our decisions into action. In my activity it includes reaction time and limb co-ordination.

A strategy is a cognitive processes designed to achieve a goal for a task. In addition, a well-developed strategy should enable people to control the way in which they think in problem-solving situations.

A learning and performance strategy can be applied during the preparation period before the start of a 100 metres. During this period, I have the time to ready myself for the event. I can implement a set of ...
