Best Answer

False starts in 100 metre sprints are when an athlete leaves the starting blocks 0.10 seconds after the gun goes off; the IAAF did tests that show the human brain can't process the information from the sound of the gun in under that time. This precise measuring is only used in higher level tournaments.
