A kneeling start in Track and Field is a racing technique where an athlete begins from a kneeling position, typically on one knee, before transitioning into a sprint. This start is often used in sprints and hurdles to help athletes generate power and speed quickly off the line. It can also help with balance and stability during the initial phase of the race. While less common than the standing start, it is utilized in specific events or training scenarios to enhance performance.
