An elite 100m guy, say 9.8, takes around 43 steps during a race. Roughly 60m should be acceleration. If we say 60% of steps are acceleration, then we have about 25 steps. Now a high school boy that runs 12.0 [b]will take 9-11 more steps during a race[/b]. Say 54. If he still accelerates through 25 steps, his acceleration would be through 46%, or 46m. Thoughts?
is what I was looking at, makes sense now you said acceleration steps.
