CORRELATION BETWEEN KINEMATIC AND DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAXIMAL VELOCITY SPRINTING STRIDE OF FEMALE SPRINTERS

The purpose of the study was to ascertain which kinematic and dynamic variables of the sprinting stride most affect maximal sprinting velocity. Seven female sprinters of the Slovene national team twice executed the test 20 m with a flying start, whereby we measured twelve dynamic parameters of their sprinting stride in their maximal velocity zone using a tensiometric platform installed in a Tartan track. To register fourteen kinematic parameters we used a 3D kinematic system (APAS - Ariel Performancer Analysis System). The filming frame frequency was 50 Hz. A fifteen-segment model, defined by seventeen reference points, was used in the analysis. A statistical analysis was made with the SPSS statistical package. The statistical significance (
