Kinematic Analysis of Sprinting Pickup Acceleration versus Maximum Sprinting Speed
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Pickup acceleration and maximum sprinting speed are two essential phases of the 100-m sprint with variant sprinting speed, step length, frequency and technique. the aim of the study was to describe and compare the kinematic parameters of both sprint variants. Hypothetically it was assumed to find differences in sprinting speed, step length, flight and contact times as well as between the body angles of different key positions. From 8 female and 8 male (N=16) track and field junior athletes a double stride of both sprint variants was filmed (200 Hz) from a sagittal position and the 10-m-sprint time was measured using triple light barriers. Kinematic data for sprinting speed and angles of knee, hip and ankle were compared with an analysis of variance with repeated measures. the sprinting speed was 7.7 m/s and 8.0 m/s (female) and 8.4 m/s and 9.2 m/s (male) with significantly higher values of step length, flight time and shorter ground contact time during maximum sprinting speed. Because of the longer flight time, it is possible to place the foot closer to the body but with a more extended knee on the ground. these characteristics can be used as orientation for technique training.
