Tool · Block start
Block distances calculated from lower-limb length, compared with the ones the athlete uses now. With one condition the data impose and that is usually left out: the rule does not work on everyone, and the cormic index tells you in advance on whom.
From the greater trochanter to the lateral malleolus, standing. This is the measurement the calculation rests on.
It is measured by sitting the athlete on a stool and reading the height up to the top of the head. Put the height of the seat here and I will subtract it. If the value above is already net, leave this field empty.
Current setting — optional
The second one is the distance between the blocks, not the distance of the rear block from the start line.
Optional. If you measured them from video, I compare them with values from trained sprinters.
The numbers are yours
What you have calculated stays yours: you need not leave anything to use it. But if you want an opinion on those numbers — what they say, what they do not say, and what to work on first — leave me your email and I will reply myself, personally.

Got it. I will write to you myself, usually within a couple of days.

The anthropometric rule is the starting point. Fine tuning happens on the force plate, with the push measured: we can do it with you.
