Technical Ability of Force Application as a Determinant Factor of Sprint Performance.

The article offers information on the study conducted by the authors related to relation between sprint performance and technical ability to produce net positive horizontal force. It states that 12 males without any musculoskeletal injury or pain participated in the study. It mentions that one week before the experiment, they took a session in which they treadmill sprints until they got comfortable with the required running technique. It highlights that 100 meters (m) sprints were performed in which performance was measutred using a radar Stalker ATS System. It reports that ratio of forces (RF) speed relations were linear for all participants. It informs that force application technique is a determinant factor for 100 m sprint performance.
