Crouch Start: Crouch Start meant for the sprints, are of the following types: 

1. Bunch Start. 

2. Medium Start. 

3. Elongated Start.

The Athlete uses the type of start according to his height and convenience. For a Bunch start the distance between the front and the rear feet should be 6 to 11 inches, for the Medium start between 16 to 21 inches and for Elongated start between 22 to 26 inches.

The starting blocks when used should be adjusted according to the style adopted by the runner. Before the start of race the athletes stand in their respective lanes at the assembly line. When the runners take their position, the starter takes the charge of the race with the command: ‘On your Marks’.
