Fifteen male sprinters of LNIPE Gwalior specialzing in track and field were selected as subject as subject and their age were between 17-25 years. Selected anthropometric measurements were height, sitting height, leg length, lower leg length, upper leg length, arm length and weight. Different inter block spacings were bunch, medium start and elongated start. The subject runs 100m race and they were timed at different check points they are 10m, 20m, 30m and 100m marks. In order to find out the reliability of data test retest method was used. Coefficients of correlation were calculated by using Pearson's product moment correlations. From the findings we can say that lower leg length and 10m sprinting performance with bunch start, leg length and 20m sprinting performance in case of bunch start and elongated start, upper leg length and 20m performance in case of bunch start, arm length and 20m sprinting performance in case of bunch start these all were found to have a positive correlation except weight and 100m sprinting performance in case of elongated start the values were found negative. That's why all values were found insignificant. The values which were found insignificant were height, sitting height, leg length, upper leg length, arm length and weight at 10m, 20m, 30m and 100m mark in case of crouch start. | | Keywords : | | |
