A starting block is a piece of equipment used in track and field or swimming to help athletes begin a race with more speed and power. In track and field, it consists of footrests where sprinters push off to launch themselves forward. In swimming, it is a raised platform where swimmers position themselves before diving into the water. The starting block gives athletes a stable base, allowing them to make a quick and strong start, which is essential for competitive performance in both running and swimming events.
