The aims of the present study were to assess competitive sprinters' body size and composition determine their impact on performance.Ninety-eight male sprinters (100 m) participated in this cross-sectional study. A series measurements was directly taken data muscular strength power tests self-reported. Body assessed by skinfold method somatotype calculated Heath-Carter anthropometric method. Sprinters classified into three groups depending personal best time comparisons performed between...
Modern life is fraught with pressures and demands that compromise interfere the needs of body. Exercising in leisure time offers many well‐documented mental physical benefits to counter strains modern – yet choose remain inactive. Our understanding inactivity can be enhanced by more research into those who do undertake exercise a variety forms. The purpose this study was understand about experience natural environment, through hiking walking on Medvednica Mountain Nature Park near Zagreb,...
Elite athletes differ from each other in their characteristics according to discipline. This study aimed identify performance predictors elite Croatian sprinters taking into consideration anthropometric, psychological and genetic characteristics. One hundred four (68 males 36 females) participated this study. Of them, 38 are currently competing the 100-metre dash. The others former sprinters. participants underwent direct anthropometric assessment. Participants were also tested by means of...
The aim of the study was to determine differences among subjects different sprinting quality in variables running dynamics 100 m sprint event and kinematic indicators (stride frequency, stride length, foot-ground contact duration, airborne phase duration). research conducted on a sample 133 physical education teacher male students, aged 19 24 years (age 21.7 ± 1.08 yrs ; body height 180.8 6.98 cm mass 76.6 7.62 kg), first year students at Faculty Kinesiology, University Zagreb, who regularly...
Biomechanical, Neuro-muscular and Methodical Aspects of Running Speed Development The purpose present review article is to gather the most important findings in field speed development including biomechanical, motor neuro-muscular factors. Maximum a complex ability, which manifests itself real sports situations an factor various disciplines. Efficiency maximum running defined with frequency length stride. Both variables are mutually dependant; they also depend on processes central regulation...
This study investigated the maximal sprint velocity kinematics of fastest 100 m sprinter, Usain Bolt. Two high-speed video cameras recorded from 60 to 90 during men final at IAAF World Challenge Zagreb 2011, Croatia. Despite a relatively slow reaction time (194 ms), Bolt won in 9.85 s (mean velocity: 10.15 m/s). His 20-m section was 12.14 m/s, reached between 70 and m, by 2.70-m long strides 4.36 strides/s frequency. At velocity, his contact flight times were 86 145 ms, respectively,...
The aim of each sprint race is to cover the competition distance in shortest possible time. Each commences at moment start signal announcement, which means, with speed a push off from blocks. focus this research was on reaction time, first factor time sequence race. sample subjects included 250 female athletes and 360 male who performed athletic events 2004 Olympic Games Athens. purpose determine existence influence result. results showed that by increase event distance, average value became...
The reactive strength index (RSI) is used to assess in the lower limbs. Since previous studies have mostly focused on vertical RSI (derived from drop jumps), we investigated across eight consecutive unilateral horizontal hops and its associations with sprint performance. A sample of 104 male kinesiology students (age: 19.2 ± 1.1 years) performed 100 m sprints split times recorded. was determined as ratio between contact time subsequent flight for each hop. On a group level, statistically...
The aim of this paper was to determine the level physical activity high school teachers and establish whether there were differences in female male during their professional work, travel from leisure time taking into consideration age, gender, work experience. study included at a Osijek-Baranja County, Republic Croatia. sample 41 aged 25 64. This used Croatian version Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) as measuring instrument. variables total teachers, workplace, time, sporting...
The purpose of the research study was to standardize measurement procedure and determine reliability, homogeneity, sensitivity a 20 m unilateral horizontal cyclic jump test (UHCJ20m) whose intentional (assumed) aim is lower extremities' explosive strength. subject sample consisted 31 students from Zagreb University (20.68 ± 1.96 years age, height 185.16 7.19 cm, body mass 79.48 9.23 kg) actively involved in various sports events. UHCJ20m performed three times using dominant (take-off) leg...
