Abstract

[b]Aim of the study.[/b] Foot is one link of the human proprioceptive kinetic chain. Feet proficiency is a part of general static-dynamic fitness. The aim of this study was to analyze connections between the parameters of feet structure and explosive power of lower limbs in 20–28 years old men.[b]Material and method. [/b]Cross-sectional studies included 130 randomly selected men between the ages of 20 to 28, the students at the University of Rzeszow and the Beskid Skills College in Żywiec. Plantographic method non-marking technique was used to evaluate feet. There were drawn suitable lines and angles on plantograms and on this basis plantographic indexes were calculated. Explosive power of lower limbs was examined on the base of measurements of the long jump from the place and the high jump. Methods of descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the collected material. To evaluate connections between chosen plantographic features and explosive power of lower limbs, and connection between chosen motor fitness tests there was used Pearson’s linear correlation.[b]Results.[/b] Studies show that there are no statistical significant correlations between the feet structure and the long jump from the place and the high jump.[b]Conclusions. [/b]The feet structure does not have a fundamental influence on explosive power of lower limbs in tested men.
