Following a standardized warm-up procedure, fourteen professional female athletes completed three countermovement vertical jumps with no arm swing, while standing on a uni-axial force plate system sampling at 1,000 Hz. Force-time metrics, expressed both in absolute (A) and relative (R) terms, were analyzed across braking (eccentric) and propulsive (concentric) phases of the jumping motion, including inter-limb asymmetry measures. Independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> tests were used to examine between-group statistically significant differences (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The results reveal that 100 m sprinters tend to display greater force and power-producing capabilities than their 400 m counterparts. Specifically, average braking power (A: 1,212.3 vs. 1,052.9 W), average propulsive power (A: 2,343.8 vs. 2,026.9 W), peak propulsive power (A: 4,030.1 vs. 3,503.5 W; R: 64.1 vs. 59.4 W·kg<sup>-1</sup>), average propulsive velocity (1.79 vs. 1.69 m·s<sup>-1</sup>), peak propulsive velocity (3.13 vs. 2.93 m·s<sup>-1</sup>), and jump height (47.8 vs. 41.4 cm) were all greater in 100 m than 400 m sprinters. In addition, average and peak braking and propulsive force inter-limb asymmetries remained below 10% in both groups, with no significant differences being observed. Therefore, these findings suggest that 100 m sprinters may benefit from training regimens focused on the development of force and power-producing capabilities, particularly through exercises that enhance the propulsive (concentric) phase of the movement, while 400 m sprinters may benefit from a more integrated training approach, focused on balancing speed development with strength-endurance components.</p>","PeriodicalId":12716,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sports and Active Living","volume":"7 ","pages":"1672028"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12436288/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145080304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide an inventory of technologies in active use to support key aspects of coaching. Our findings show that when aligned with coaching goals, technology offers valuable support for decision-making, individualized student-athlete management, and coach-athlete communication. These findings also point to the importance of supporting coaching staff in managing the growing demands of technology use.
