Abstract

This study aimed to determine changes in the kinematics of sprint steps based on progressive muscular fatigue during high-intensity 350-m and 500-m trials. Twelve elite healthy male 400-m sprinters with a minimum of six years of regular sprint training experience were recruited. They were divided...

Description

The research concluded that special endurance based on 350 m differs significantly in kinematics from sprints over 500 m.
