ABSTRACT T of the 100 metres is well document- ed in the sport science literature (MURASE et al., 1976; VOLKOV and LAPIN, 1979; MANN AND HERMAN, 1985; BRÜGGEMANN and SUSANKA, 1988; MORAVEC et al., 1988; BRÜGGEMANN and GLAD, 1990; GAJER et al., 1999; FERRO et al., 2001).

    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.

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.

  • Reaction Time and Performance at the Sprint Events in the Olympic Games
    Pilianidis, T. et al.: START REACTION TIME AND PERFORMANCE AT ... Kinesiology 44(2012) 1:67-72 START REACTION TIME AND PERFORMANCE AT THE SPRINT EVENTS IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES Theophilos Pilianidis, Athanasios Kasabalis, Nikolaos Mantzouranis and Alexandros Mavvidis Democritus University of Thrace, Department of Physical Education & Sport Science, Komotini, Greece Original scientific paper UDC: 794.422.12:796.032.2 Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the start reaction time and sprinting performance in athletes who took part in the athletics final events in the Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The evaluated data originated from 67 male athletes (N=67) and 68 female athletes (N=68) who participated in the events of 100-m and 200-m sprints and 110/100-m hurdles. The evaluation of start reaction time (ms) and the sprinters’ performance (s) was based on the published official reports of the International Association of Athletics Federation. The ANOVA results showed a significant difference between genders in start reaction time only in the 100-m (F(1.44)=11.82, p<.01) event. The Bonferroni comparisons regarding the Olympic Games revealed that both in male and female athletes the 100-m start reaction times were significantly better in Beijing 2008 in relation to those in Sydney 2000. Similarly, the start reaction times in 110/100-m hurdles were significantly better in Athens 2004 in relation to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Finally, in the men’s 100-m final race in Beijing 2008, both the start reaction time and the performance were better than those of the athletes who participated in Athens 2004 and in Sydney 2000 (r=.490, df=38, p<.01).
