THE INFLUENCE OF SPRINT BLOCK START ELEMENTS ON INITIAL VELOCITY OF 100 METRE RACE

Journal Title: Central European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 4

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to investigate whether it is possible to evaluate the relationship between different phases of sprint start objectively. The participants of the research were the top level of elite National Sprint Team (8 female, 9 male). The run times were as follows: 10.39 ±0.12 s for men and 11.63 ±0.20 s for women. The data that were taken into account during the research in order to examine typical kinetic parameters of the sprint start were: reaction time, delay between simple reaction time and reaction time (IAAF), time to front peak force, time to rear peak force, delay between end of front force and gun signal and total start time. The analysis of the study identifies the major kinematic parameters of the phases of the sprint start and block acceleration that influence the results of sprint running. The following correlation analyses were conducted, a linear regression for the typical kinetic parameters of the sprint start, initial speed on 100 metre race. Finally, a simple coaching related model for the development of sprinting is presented which is consistent with scientific evidence recommendations for coaches to make changes in training
