RELATIONSHIP OF SELECTED JUMPING PARAMETERS WITH 100 METERS SPRINTING PERFORMANCE

Abstract :

 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among jumping parameters and speed performance in 100 meters. The study was conducted on a sample of 20 male athletes who were selected randomly. All athletes were regularly trained. The athletes were instructed to be adequately hydrated, fed, and rested prior to and during the testing day. Before each trial, subjects were allowed to perform an adequate standardized warm–up which included light jogging, a stretching routine and light jumping exercises. Regardless of testing modality, the subjects were requested to exert maximal effort in each test. A 2 minutes rest period was held between jumping trials to avoid the effects of fatigue. Pearson product movement correlation was used to find out the correlation of standing oad jump and vertical jump with 100 meter performance in seconds. The results revealed out that standing oad jump and vertical jump correlates significantly with 100–meter distance in seconds. Thus improvement in standing oad jump and vertical jump may also lead to the improvement in the sprinting performance of the athletes.
