Testing the Sprint Curve Model using the 150m Bailey-Johnson Showdown
J. R. Mureika
Recently, a simple model was derived to account for a sprinter's energy loss around a curve, based on previous sprint models for linear races. This paper offers a quick test of the…

A Simple Model for Predicting Sprint Race Times Accounting for Energy Loss on the Curve
J. R. Mureika
The mathematical model of J. Keller for predicting World Record race times, based on a simple differential equation of motion, predicted quite well the records of the day. One of i…
