I have never heard or talked to a sprinter who used a powermeter to even out leg strength. My guess would be that they spend so much time in the gym that an issue like that would dealt with there. What is cool is how sprinters and their coaches use power to determine what their optimum gear will be for a particular track or situation. A good gear not only gives quick acceleration, but also slower deceleration.
