What is the 55 meter in Track and Field?

It is the shortest distance dash event in Track and Field and usually confided to indoor tracks. Indoor tracks are much smaller than outdoor tracks typically 160 - 200 meters with banked turns at the ends of it's oval shape. There is also a Hurdle event associated with this distance. Not unlike the famed 100 meter dash in outdoors, the 55 meter emphasises "block work". Block work is a term that summarizes all the steps included in and execution of a proper run out of starting blocks (a device at the starting line). The shorter the distance of a track event the more crucial it is to be the fastest out of the blocks.
