In contrast, the FMS participant be

In contrast, the FMS participant begins with a narrower stance and the takeoff is completed before any foot adjustments (pivot, false start, etc). If a wider base of support was employed by this participant, then the takeoff distance would not be increased as the takeoff foot will always be the foot closest to the new direction, as opposed to the rear foot in the pivoting strategies.Additionally, by creating a simultaneous or near simultaneous takeoff and touchdown of contralateral legs, the flight phase is minimized or possibly eliminated, thereby increasing the ground contact time (GCT). Because propulsive force can only be produced when in contact with the ground, the increased GCT may allow for greater impulse to be generated than might occur if the flight phase was increased.An increase in generated impulse would likely result in a faster sprint time (f 3 t=m 3 v) (5,9).
