    It’s a Wrap! Reviewing the 1997 Outdoor Season J. R. Mureika Department of Computer Science University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 90089-2520 Throughout the summer, I’ve written articles highlighting this year’s 100m performances, and ranking them according to their wind-corrected values. Now that the fall months draw to a close, and the temperature drops to a nippy 15 celsius at night (well, for some of us), it seems only natural to wrap up the year with a rundown of the 1997 rankings. Of course, it wouldn’t be exciting to just give the official rankings, so I will also present the wind-corrected rankings, and will offer comparison to the adjusted value of the athlete’s best 100m performance of 1996. Mind you, this won’t necessarily be the best wind-corrected performance, but it can offer an insight into how an athlete has progressed over the course of a year. As a quick refresher, a 100m time tw assisted by a wind w (the wind speed) can be corrected to an equivalent time t0 as run with no wind (w = 0 m/s), 2 w × tw t0 ≈ 1.03 − 0.03 × 1 − × tw . (1) 100 " # This comes about because approximately 3% of the athlete’s effort is spent fighting atmospheric drag. A tail-wind implicitly boosts a race time, hile a head-wind can take away a sprinter’s chance at a possible World Record. (as an interesting aside: this also says that it takes more energy to run into a head-wind than you get from a tail-wind assistance.

  • Young Investigator Research Article ANTHROPOMETRIC
    ©Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2005) 4, 608-616 http://www.jssm.org Young investigator Research article ANTHROPOMETRIC COMPARISON OF WORLD-CLASS SPRINTERS AND NORMAL POPULATIONS Niels Uth Department of Sport Science, University of Aarhus, Aarhus N, Denmark Received: 30 May 2005 / Accepted: 25 August 2005 / Published (online): 01 December 2005 ABSTRACT The present study compared the anthropometry of sprinters and people belonging to the normal population. The height and body mass (BM) distribution of sprinters (42 men and 44 women) were statistically compared to the distributions of American and Danish normal populations. The main results showed that there was significantly less BM and height variability (measured as standard deviation) among male sprinters than among the normal male population (US and Danish), while female sprinters showed less BM variability than the US and Danish normal female populations. On average the American normal population was shorter than the sprinters. There was no height difference between the sprinters and the Danish normal population. All female groups had similar height variability. Both male and female sprinters had lower body mass index (BMI) than the normal populations. It is likely that there is no single optimal height for sprinters, but instead there is an optimum range that differs for males and females. This range in height appears to exclude people who are very tall or very short in stature. Sprinters are generally lighter in BM than normal populations. Also, the BM variation among sprinters is less than the variation among normal populations. These anthropometric characteristics typical of sprinters might be explained, in part, by the influence the anthropometric characteristics have on relative muscle strength and step length.

We did not know it at the time, but the entry list was laden with superstars of the future, including Hicham El Guerrouj, Haile Gebrselassie, Koji Murofushi, Debbie Ferguson, Cathy Freeman and Paula Radcliffe. It is quite possible that some of these names might return to the Korean peninsula in 2011, but for sure we will see many more athletes of their calibre bidding for world medals. Now we are at the 13th edition of our World Championships. With each staging, a book such as this becomes more important.
