Differences in Maximal Speed Running Between Baseball Players and Sprinters
… to examine the differences in technique between sprinters and baseball players while running at maximal speeds. 20 male NCAA Division I athletes participated; ten members of the track and field team specializing in the 100 m or 200 m sprint or the 100 m hurdles and ten members of the baseball …

A Biomechanical Analysis of Sprinters vs. Distance Runners at Equal and Maximal Speeds
… compared the differences in technique between sprinters and distance runners while running at equal and maximal speeds. <strong>METHODS:</strong> Subjects for the study consisted of 10 Division I collegiate distance runners, 10 Division I collegiate sprinters, and 10 healthy non-runners. The …

The Relationship Between Relative Strength Levels to Sprinting Performance in Collegiate 100-400M Sprinters
… to sprinting performance in 60-400m collegiate sprinters. A secondary purpose was to determine the distribution of athletes within the theoretical relationship between relative squat strength and performance capabilities. Fifty-six (n = 56) male and sixty-four (n = 64) female collegiate track …

An Overview on the performance of sprinters with lower limb amputation/impairment in Paralympic Games.
The inclusion of technology in sport has been the core of many debates with regard to the fairness of sport. Many of the experts believe that the use of these technologies gives an unfair advantage to those who are using them, which is in contradiction with the nature of professional competitive …

An ethnography of black collegiate sprinters: A formal model of cultural identity and the identity complex
… identity in a population of black collegiate sprinters. I combine the theoretical perspectives of cognitive science and sociocultural anthropology to propose a cognitive model of a system of social relations that will handle effectively the very complicated ways in which being black can figure …

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on 30 Meter Fly Sprint Performance in NCAA Division I Sprinters and Jumpers.
… meter (m) fly sprint performance in collegiate sprinters and jumpers (M=21, W=5) following an acute bout of whole-body vibration. The WBV protocol consisted of one 30 second bout at 50 Hz, ~3 mm amplitude, and 60 seconds rest before a 30m fly sprint. Sprint times were measured using timing …

Effects of Dynamic, Static Stretch, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Running Velocity, Step Length, and Step Rate
… and a no stretch protocol on collegiate female sprinters on the velocity, step length and step rate. Ten NCAA Division I female sprinters ranging in age from 18 to 22 participated in the study. A forty five meter sprint was performed with the section from thirty to forty meters digitally …

A metabolic comparison of isokinetic and free sprinting
… (EPOC) and peak blood lactate responses of sprinters following exhaustive treadmill running, maximal isokinetic and free sprinting. Eight university sprinters (mean: age = 24.8 yrs., ht. = 178.9 cm., wt. = 74.9 kg.) performed a 2 minute anaerobic speed test (AST) and tethered isokinetic and …

Gas exchange kinetics in elite runners.
… selected for this study were 12 elite male sprinters (ST) and 12 elite male endurance runners (ET). A 300s pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) exercise protocol was selected to investigate differences between ST and ET. Oxygen uptake (ml-min[-1]) and VCO[2] (ml-min[-1]) were measured on a …

Biomechanics of foot function in relation to sports performance
… Empirical investigations on eight trained sprinters performing maximal sprint trials, both in barefoot and sprint spike conditions determined normal patterns of foot behaviour and the role of the MPJ during sprinting. Several aspects of foot function, including kinematic, kinetic and …

Sprint acceleration performance in team sports : biomechanical characteristics and training methods
… sprinting has previously been studied in track sprinters from a block start, but there is a dearth of research exploring tile biomechanieal charactcristics of sprint acceleration in team-sport athletes from starting positions that are specific to team-sport match situations (e.g., standing …

FUNCTIONAL HAMSTRING: QUADRICEPS RATIO AND HAMSTRING INJURY INCIDENCE IN TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES
Twenty-one percent of hurdlers and sprinters (22 of 106 athletes) from a Division 1 University Track and Field team sustained hamstring strains in the 2010 season preventing practice and competition. Functional hamstring to quadriceps strength ratio was measured to study muscular imbalances in …

Beyond incredible: The Paralympic road to Rio - an ethnographic study
… Classification issues involving ambulatory sprinters and wheelchair racers produced themes related to psychosocial and potential ethical issues, leading to suggestions for improvement. Lack of transparency and inconsistencies by Paralympic officials and classifiers led to mistrust of the …
