Athletic sprint running performance is regulated by a complex interaction of numerous factors. Many studies have examined the mechanics of linear sprinting, with the majority focusing on spatiotemporal variables. The fastest runners maximize their acceleration and sprinting velocities by applying

On the Importance of “Front-Side Mechanics” in Athletics Sprinting
Thomas Haugen, Jørgen Danielsen, Leif Olav Alnes, David McGhie, Øyvind Sandbakk, and Gertjan Ettema
Associations Between Individual Lower-Limb Muscle Volumes and 100-m Sprint Time in Male Sprinters
Norihide Sugisaki, Kai Kobayashi, Hiroyasu Tsuchie, and Hiroaki Kanehisa
” muscles that are prime movers of the task and responsible for its performance. Sprinting is a motor task in which the body mass of a runner is rapidly propelled forward by a propulsive force produced by lower-limb joint torques. Thus, identifying the key lower-limb muscles in sprinting is essential to
Sprint Endurance Abilities in Elite Female Soccer Players
Carlo Castagna, Stefano D’Ottavio, Paolo Roberto Gabrielli, and Susana Póvoas
Repeated- and long-sprint abilities (sprint endurance) are relevant components of soccer match performance. 1 – 6 Descriptive studies have provided evidence for ecological validity of repeated-sprint-ability (RSA) paradigms, showing large associations between match high-intensity and sprint
Optimization of Sprint Training Among European Coaches: Quality Over Quantity
Aarón Agudo-Ortega, Øyvind Sandbakk, Juan J. Salinero, Bjørn Johansen, and José M. González-Rave
improvements among elite sprinters who only improve by 0.2% per year and 2% in the 5 years before their peak performance age. 3 – 5 The principle of variation and, subsequently, the periodization process are built on the notion that systematic variation in specific training variables is most effective for
Force-Velocity-Power Profiling During Weighted-Vest Sprinting in Soccer
Jorge Carlos-Vivas, Elena Marín-Cascales, Tomás T. Freitas, Jorge Perez-Gomez, and Pedro E. Alcaraz
different levels. 3 In addition, a recent study by Faude et al 4 observed that straight sprinting was the most frequent action in goal situations for the player who scored and also for the one who assisted. A small difference of 0.04 to 0.06 seconds over a 20-m sprint may be enough to win a 1-on-1 dispute
Effect of Vertical Jump and Sprint Training on Power and Speed Performance Transfer
Rodrigo Ghedini Gheller, Rafael Lima Kons, Juliano Dal Pupo, and Daniele Detanico
Sprint and vertical jumps are widely used training methods to develop speed–power abilities ( Markovic et al., 2007 ), which are important for successful performance in a range of team sports, martial arts, and track and field ( Dal Pupo et al., 2021 ; Kons et al., 2018 ; Loturco, Nakamura et
Ground Reaction Forces During Sprinting in Unilateral Transfemoral Amputees
Atsushi Makimoto, Yoko Sano, Satoru Hashizume, Akihiko Murai, Yoshiyuki Kobayashi, Hiroshi Takemura, and Hiroaki Hobara
Sprinters with lower extremity amputation wearing running-specific prostheses have improved their athletic performance in recent decades. In current Paralympic athletics regulation, sprinters with lower extremity amputation are classified in accordance with their amputation level, such as
Repeated-Sprint Training in Hypoxia in International Rugby Union Players
Adam Beard, John Ashby, Ryan Chambers, Franck Brocherie, and Grégoire P. Millet
Rugby union is an intermittent sport often having periods of high-intensity efforts with incomplete recoveries. 1 Total distances reported in the literature have ranged between 4800 and 5200 m for forwards and 5600 and 6000 m for backs, 2 whereas sprint distances have ranged between 350 and 510 m
Swing Phase Mechanics of Maximal Velocity Sprints—Does Isokinetic Lower-Limb Muscle Strength Matter?

Coach and Biomechanist Experiential Knowledge of Maximum Velocity Sprinting Technique
Amy Waters, Elissa Phillips, Derek Panchuk, and Andrew Dawson
To improve athlete performance in elite sport a multi-disciplinary approach is often taken to maximise every aspect of performance, especially in sports such as track and field sprinting where success is defined by the narrowest of margins. This leads to an environment where sport science
