A Kinetic Analysis of Sprinting
STRENGTH & PERFORMANCE
Relationship Between Strength Qualities & Sprinting Performance
​
This study investigated the relationship between strength measures and sprinting performance, and to determine if these relationships varied for different phases of spring running. Twenty (11 males and 9 females) elite junior track and field athletes served as subjects. The conclusion was that strength qualities were related to sprinting performance and these relationships differed for starting and maximum speed sprinting.
NSF Certified for Sport - Banned Substance Free Supplements
​
The program's objective is to certify that participating sports supplement manufacturers have met NSF's stringent independent certification process guidelines, which were developed through a consensus process involving regulatory, sports industry and consumer groups. A key component of this program is an NSF Mark on each product label, to show athletes, coaches and consumers that a sports supplement has met NSF's comprehensive Certified for Sport® program guidelines.

Relationship Between Strength Qualities & Sprinting Performance
​
Results of maximal effort sprinting were digitized, computer processed, and analyzed to focus on the muscle movement patterns about the ankle, knee, hip, should, and elbow. The analysis displayed maximum exertion occurring during eccentric contraction of the hip extensor/knee flexor muscle group during initial ground contact, and the smallest exertion occurred in the small upper limb muscle moments used primarily to maintain balance during sprinting.
