Abstract
This research was aimed to investigate demographic, anthropometric and physical fitness as a predictor of race performance of Burayu, Legatafo&Sebeta town athletics project trainees. Cross-sectional, stratified, systematic sampling techniques was used to collect data from the athlete (n = 151). Mean, tables, charts, standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression analysis were used as statistical tools for analysis of the data. An important finding emerged in this study is that athlete‟s leg explosive power and their leg length shown significant low relationship with Athlete‟s personal best time. In contrary to our expectations, this research did not find significant relationship with age, height, weight, marital status, muscular endurance, hamstring and low back flexibility and speed. The study has shown that only leg length of an athlete is explaining 6.2% of athlete‟s personal best time. This study is confirms that age, height, weight, marital status, leg explosive power, muscular endurance, hamstring and low back flexibility and speed of the athlete did not explain athlete‟s personal best time. Further research will involve a larger sample in order to show the relationship between selected anthropometric, physical fitness and athletes demographic variables and athlete‟s personal best time.
