    Everyone has different dominant legs. You don’t need to be a righty to have your right leg dominant. Have someone push you and whatever foot you use to catch yourself is dominant.

    you also dont want to pop right up but come out low and get to the upright position within the first 2 to 3 steps. by popping right up it takes you longer to get up to top speed and by popping right up its like putting on the brakes on your start.

      OK...If you are injured do not sprint...especially from blocks. When fit, whatever feels best but still need to push with both legs. If you sprint hurdle then it is common to have to change front/back legs to hit the first hurdle with the correct lead leg....Good Luck!@@Deepak28262
