400m competition format
The basics
The 400m starts with a staggered bend, with athletes running a full circuit of the track.
Competition format
The competition starts with heats. The number of heats and the number of athletes progressing to the next round depends on the number of athletes competing. In each heat the fastest athletes go through, as well as a set number of the fastest losers across all the heats. The following rounds run on the same format, until eight athletes are through to compete in the final.
The draw to determine which heat athletes run in is decided by their initial seedings (based on previous performance) for the first round, and then their performances after that. This ensures that the highest seeded athletes are not drawn in the same heat.
In the first round, an athlete's lane allocation is drawn by lot, and in subsequent rounds it is dependent on their performance. The highest-seeded athletes are drawn in the centre lanes.
Keys to success
In sprint races, the time separating athletes can be as little as one hundredth of a second, requiring a photo finish. A good start is crucial, as is technique while running and the quality of the finish. The winning athletes must be relaxed but perfectly focused on their race.
Breaking the rules
The most dramatic error for spectators, and arguably the most cruel for athletes, is the false start. Once in the set position on the blocks, any athlete moves off the starting blocks either before the gun has fired or within 0.10 sec of the gun firing is disqualified. Athletes can also be penalised for running out of their lane or obstructing another athlete.

well, we arent olympic runners...so who cares?

[@TimothyApe]

It´s way more complicated than that. You mentioned the downside, but on the other hand you could quote less mass to accelerate (lighter foot/leg), no fatigue of foot muscles, better efficiency because lack of inelastic deformation (cause by soft foot tissue etc.) It´s not as easy as to say, he is disabled so he will always have a disadvantage compared to "complete" sprinters...

[@slol28]

I guess we will see. but think about this, he killed her no matter how you tried to see it. it's not like she went to the bathroom and died or that bullets just flew in from outer space, pierced the door and killed her.

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

I remember being so enamoured and in awe of him and his accomplishments at the Olympics and cheering him on as a real role model. Was heart broken when he killed his girlfriend and still really sad about it. Only he knows what really happened that night, although I don't believe he did it on purpose. I hope her family and him can find some semblance of peace.

So, I am in 8th grade and am the fastest 400m runner at my school. My coach puts me in 2 to 3 400m events (400m dash, 800m medley, and 1600 relay) every meet. My time right now is a 1:01, but I think I can break 1:00 by the end of the season (6 weeks left.) My breathing and lungs are completely fine after the 400m(I used to be a distance runner), just my legs begin burning and then I can't maintain my sprinting speed. Can anyone recommend a good training regimen to help me with my 400m troubles?

[@toopkarcher4941]

Well you can't really say he has an advantage with the spring from the legs because the other runners have calve muscles to compensate with that you know.

[@funeralgiggle3771]

on the other hand he doesn't feel the exhaustion on muscles he doesn't have.

[@toopkarcher4941]

Funeral Giggle But then he's using his thighs extra is he not? But that is a good point. The advantage didn't pay off completely seeing as he isn't ultra successful.

[@funeralgiggle3771]

Ochir Erkhembayar I don't know if he is using his thighs extra. My guess is not, in fact, I think he uses them less. Upper leg muscles are connected to lower leg muscles, therefore if half of those muscles are missing, I don't believe the same strain goes to the upper part. At this point is just guessing... I'm certain we will unfortunately see him "run" again when he finishes the ducky quack quack sentence he received.

Im pretty sure the prosthetics put loads of extra strain and pain on his upper legs.

[@steviegbcool]

only a little , they weigh a lot less than human legs and don require oxygen and blood to be pumped, they also dont build up lactic acid. So in someways its an advantage in the 400m where lactic acid and musle fatique are critical.
