Abstract A comprehensive research study was undertaken involving ten national-level sprinters selected purposively from the athletics ground of Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. The primary objective was to identify the key angles influencing movement during predefined steps in sprinting. The age range of the participants was 19 to 27 years, and the selection process followed purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics were employed to interpret the collected data, providing a summary of the sprinters' performances.
The study considered various biomechanical aspects, including angles related to knee movement, hip articulation, and other relevant variables. The correlation between angular and linear variables was explored, and KINOVEA software was utilized for precise angle measurements, ensuring high accuracy in recording sprinters' movements. This technological approach facilitated a thorough examination of the kinematic aspects of their performance.
Data collection employed a judgmental sampling method, and the results revealed significant relationships. Notably, there was a significant correlation between the angle at the right ankle joint and the angle at the right wrist joint at the 1st step. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed at the right knee joint at the 3rd step, indicating its contribution to the athletes' overall performance.
Keywords Keywords: Sprinters, Biomechanical analysis, Kinematic aspects, Angular variables.
