A comperison of selected kinemetical parameters between male and female intervarsity long jumpers
Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to compare selected kinematical parameters of male and female long jumpers. A total 12 (six male and six female) All India Intervarsity level long jumpers were randomly selected from the All India Intervarsity Athletic Championship, held at Chennai, India as participant. To acquire kinematical data two digital Sony DCR SX40E video recording cameras, operating at 1/2000 with a frame rate of 60 frames per second, were used during the event. The selected kinematics variables for this study were approach speed, last stride length, velocity of last stride, angle of foot planting knee angle at take-off and total covered distance. For capturing the movement and motion of the athlete, one camera was placed at a distance of ten meter right side of the run way mounted at a height of three feet used to capture approach run, second camera was used to capture the last stride, foot planting and take-off of the jumpers which was placed perpendicular at a distance of seven meters on the right side of the take-off board the height of the camera was set four feet from the ground. All jumps performed by the selected jumpers during competition were recorded and the best valid jump for each athlete was selected for further analysis. The recorded video footages were downloaded, slashed and edited by using the downloaded version of STHVCD55 software. Digitization, smoothing and analysis were conducted using the Silicon Coach Pro7 motion analysis software. Acquired data were subjected to an independent sample ‘t’ test for the comparison of the kinematics parameters between male and female. All statistical procedures were conducted using the SPSS (16.0 Version) software. A level of significance was set at 0.05. The results of the study revealed that, there were significant differences found between male and female intervarsity level long jumpers in their last stride length, velocity of last stride, take-off leg knee angle and total covered distance, where as insignificant differences were observed between male and female intervarsity level long jumpers in their approach run speed and angle of foot planting. On the basis of the results it is concluded that male and female both exhibited same approach run speed and angle of foot planting but male athlete yielded good result as their total covered distance was more than female, this is just because of males possesses greater muscles strength than females.
