A Mathematical Analysis of the 4 X 100 M Relay

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2002, 20, 369± 381 A mathematical analysis of the 4 ´ 100 m relay A.J. WARD-SMITH and P.F. RADFORD* Department of Sport Sciences, Brunel University, Osterley Campus, Borough Road, Isleworth, Middlesex TW7 5DU, UK Accepted 19 November 2001 In this study, we examined aspects of the 4 ´ 100 m relay that are amenable to mathematical analysis. We looked at factors that aþ ect the time required to complete the relay, focusing on the performance of elite male athletes. Factors over which the individual athletes, and the team coach, can exercise some control are: the starting positions of the runners on legs 2, 3 and 4, the positions at which baton exchanges occur, the free distances at the baton exchanges and the running order of the athletes. The lane draw is shown to have an important in¯ uence on the relay time, although it is outside the control of the team coach. Teams drawn in the outside lanes bene® t from the inverse relation between bend radius of curvature and running speed. For teams composed of athletes with diþ erent times over 100 m, we show that the fastest relay times are achieved with the fastest athlete taking the ® rst leg, with the slowest two runners allocated to the ® nal two legs. Keywords: athletics, running, sprinting. Introduction allowance is made for bend curvature in the layout of the starting lines, which are staggered across the eight The aim of this study was to examine aspects of the lanes of the track. These rules eþ ectively determine the 4 ´ 100 m relay that are amenable to mathematical distances run by the runners on each of the four legs.

Hypo Vorarlberg Geschichte Hypomeeting Bis 2019

45 Jahre Leichtathletik-Geschichte Hypomeeting Götzis / Vorarlberg 1974 In diesem Jahr hat sich die LG Montfort entschieden, sich für die Durchführung der Österrei- chischen Mehrkampfmeisterschaften zu bewerben. Die im Juli 1973 durchgeführten Mehr- kampfmeisterschaften brachten neben dem großartigen österreichischen Rekord von Sepp Zeilbauer mit genau 8000 Punkten eine beachtliche Zuschauerresonanz. Die einen Monat später in Innsbruck ausgetragene Vorrunde im Mehrkampf-Europacup (Sepp Zeilbauer begeisterte wiederum mit neuem Rekord) brachte Armin Hug, Konrad Lerch, Elmar Oberhauser und Werner Ströhle auf den Gedanken, anstelle des nicht mehr durchgeführten traditionellen Mehrkampfmeetings in Schielleiten eine entsprechende internationale Veran- staltung im Mösle-Stadion abzuwickeln. Die vielen internationalen Kontakte von ÖLV-Mehr- kamptrainer Konrad Lerch zu seinen Trainerkollegen und AthletInnen sollte dabei die Basis für attraktive Startfelder bilden. 1975 Trotz widrigster Wetterverhältnisse (Regen und Kälte) gab es eine Jahresweltbestleistung von Burglinde Pollak/DDR im 5-Kampf und einen tschechischen Sieg im 10-Kampf durch Petr Kratky. Große Begeisterung der Athleten und Mannschaftsführer über die Organisation und die herzliche Atmosphäre, sowie ein kräfti- ger finanzieller Abgang kennzeichneten das erste Meeting. 1976 Die Volksbank konnte als Sponsor gewonnen werden, Subven- tionszusagen von Bund, Land und Marktgemeinde Götzis, sowie vom ASVÖ veranlassten die Initiatoren des Meetings Luis Fessler, Armin Hug, Konrad Lerch, Elmar Oberhauser und Werner Ströhle zu einem neuerlichen Versuch. Im Zehnkampf siegte mit Jahresweltbestleistung und neuem deutschem Rekord von 8.381 Punkten (8.302 Punktetabelle 1985) Guido Kratschmer vor dem mit 8.310 Punkten (8.219) österreichi- schen Rekord erzielenden Sepp Zeilbauer. Im Fünfkampf feier- te Diane Jones/Kanada einen sehr knappen Sieg (6 Punkte) vor Burglinde Pollak.

Abstract: The aims of this study were to compare the five hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model with the hurdle-to-hurdle model and with the official time, to compare the step kinematics of each hurdle-unit intervals, and to relate these variables to their respective hurdle-unit split times. The temporal and spatial parameters of the 60 m hurdles race were calculated during the 44th Spanish and 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships (men: n = 59; women: n = 51). The hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model showed a high correlation (r = 0.99; p < 0.001) with the split times of the hurdle-to-hurdle model and faster split times were related to shorter step and flight times in hurdle steps for both genders. At the first hurdle, male athletes tended to increase their flight and contact times while the tendency of female athletes was to decrease their contact and flight times.

Topical Applications of Mathematics Heptathlon PUPIL TEXT The 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing, give rise to renewed interest in many events where the UK stands a good chance of winning medals. One of these events is the heptathlon, which is an athletics contest made up of seven separate events (from the Greek hepta (seven) and athlon (contest)). The heptathlon is contested outdoors by women and consists of the following events over 2 days, in the order shown below. ----------------------------------------- 100 m hurdle High jump DAY 1 Shot put 200 m ----------------------------------------- Long jump Javelin throw DAY 2 800 m ----------------------------------------- Activity 1 Find out all the athletics events that exist for women in the Olympic Games. If you had to choose 7 of them to best represent the complete range of events, which ones would you choose? Are your choices in line with those that are actually in the heptathlon? __________________________________________________ Scoring is based on adding the points scored for each event. A formula is used that gives a score of 1000 points for a very good performance. The current world record is 7291 points by the USA athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee in the Seoul, South Korea, Olympic Games in September 1988. The table gives her performances and points for each event. © CIMT, University of Plymouth 1 Funded by the Clothworkers Company Topical Applications of Mathematics Heptathlon: PUPIL TEXT Event Performance Points 100 m hurdles 12.69 secs 1172 High jump 1.86 m 1054 Shot put 15.80 m 915 200 m 22.56 secs 1123 Long jump 7.27 m 1264 Javelin 45.66 776 800m 2 mins 08.51 secs 987 Activity 2 Which were the weakest and strongest performances by Jackie Joyner-Kersee?

They both attend the same primary school in Cullinan near Pretoria. • They are both talented athletes and take part in as many local school competitions that they can. To do this they train hard every day throughout the year • Linda is the school’s champion girl sprinter. She runs in the 100 metre and 200 metre races,. and in the 4x100 m relay. She also does well in the long jump. • Makhaya generally comes first in the 1 500 metre, 3 000 metre and 5 000 metre races. • Their trainer Mr. Williams, a maths teacher at the school, is their athletics coach. • Like many young sports stars, Linda and Makhaya have their heroes. • Linda’s hero is Marion Jones from the USA - one of the best women sprinters in the world today.
