What is the acceleration of a sprinter?

The acceleration of a sprinter refers to the rate at which their velocity increases as they begin their sprint. It is typically highest in the initial phase of the race as they push off the starting blocks. The actual acceleration can vary based on factors such as the sprinter's strength, technique, and surface conditions, but elite sprinters can achieve accelerations around 3 to 5 m/s² during the first few seconds of their run.
