For a Nikon with AF lenses;
- set the AF activation to "AF-ON only",
- push the shutter release all the way down and keep it there,
- wait for the moving subject to get trapped in focus plane...
the shutter will be released and voila! you get your photo in perfect focus.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. This will work in "focus priority", but not in "shutter priority". Nikon's entry level cameras (D40, D3100, etc.) are "focus priority", while the D90, for example, is "shutter priority". You cannot configure this on these cameras. I have no experience with Nikon's professional cameras, but I guess it is customizable there.
