Infographic titled 'Force Orientation in Sprinting' showing two phases—Horizontal GRF in the acceleration phase (maximized in the first 10–30 m, produces backward propulsive force, linked to low shin angles and forward posture) and Horizontal/Vertical GRF in the maximum velocity phase (vertical force dominant after ~30 m, enables elastic rebound and shorter contact times)—with icons of sprinters, bullet points, a graph where horizontal force declines and vertical force rises over 0–100 m, and the caption 'Acceleration = Horizontal Force. Maximum Velocity = Vertical Force.'
