Relationships Between physical Parameters Measures of The Body Segments and100-Meter Sprinting Performance

ABSTRACT: This study intended to examine the relationship between physical parameters measures of the body segments and the 100-meter sprinting performance. Thirty-three female subjects (N=44) aged between 19 and 25 years participate in this study (age, 22.1 ± 1.7 years; height, 165.9 ± 5.1 cm; weight, 62.8 ± 6.5 kg). The 100-meter sprinting test was conducted and five physical parameters Measures of The Body Segments, including the thigh length, lower leg length, mid-thigh circumference, calf circumference and ankle circumference were taken. Pearson correlation analysis found that there was no significant relationship between the 100-meter sprinting performance and the selected anthropometric variables (p > 0.05). The results suggested that physical parameters measures of the body segments variables were poor predictors of sprinting performance.
