Best Answer

Sprinters use muscular strength/ power to get a good powerful and strong start from the starting blocks and also to sprint as hard as they can as usually sprinters cover a relatively short distance (100/200m). sprinting is also an anaerobic activity, if aerobic (such as marathon running) then muscular ENDURANCE would be required instead of muscular STRENGTH. However, when marathon running anaerobic respiration is needed as a final sprint towards the finish line.

What are the rules for the 200 meter dash?

The only objective of the 200 meter is to come in first. However, the sprinter must stay in their lane the whole way through the race, and the race must start at the far corner of the track (opposite of the 100 m end). Hope this helps.
