Impact of anthropometric variations on acceleration and speed maintenance in sprinters

The goal of the current study was to find out how anthropometric differences affected sprinters' ability to accelerate and maintain speed. Three groups of short, medium, and long-distance sprinters were formed from a total of thirty male sprinters, ages 18 to 25. The anthropometric factors measured including Waist Girth, Hip girth, Leg length and Arm Length. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis in order to compare the groups. The results showed that the groups' capacities for acceleration and speed maintenance were impacted by notable variations in a few anthropometric characteristics. According to the study's findings, some anthropometric characteristics are advantageous for varying sprint lengths, and knowing them can aid in identifying potential and creating training plans.

Abstract

The goal of the current study was to find out how anthropometric differences affected sprinters' ability to accelerate and maintain speed. Three groups of short, medium, and long-distance sprinters were formed from a total of thirty male sprinters, ages 18 to 25. The anthropometric factors measured including Waist Girth, Hip girth, Leg length and Arm Length. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis in order to compare the groups. The results showed that the groups' capacities for acceleration and speed maintenance were impacted by notable variations in a few anthropometric characteristics. According to the study's findings, some anthropometric characteristics are advantageous for varying sprint lengths, and knowing them can aid in identifying potential and creating training plans.
