I’m not familiar with that term but put simply by using the full length of the runway in a lighty, if the engine stops you will have a greater chance of stopping on the runway or landing straight ahead on the remaining runway. Of course this will all depend on the length of the runway in the first place. Another point is by using the full length of the runway your obstacle clearance during your initial climb out will be greater.
