Procedure:

A thorough warm up should be given, including some

practice starts and accelerations.
Start from a stationary position, with one foot in front of the
other. The front foot must be on the starting line.
This runner should be stationary prior to starting.
The person timing should stand at the finish line with one
arm held high, and call ‘ready’ followed by a sweep down
their arm quickly to start the subject (do not call out ‘go’ due
to the time delay in the subject hearing the call).
As the arm sweeps down, the tester should start the
stopwatch which is held in the downward sweeping arm,
and finish the stopwatch as their chest passes through the
finish line.
