{"title":"Competing against another athlete side-by-side improves 60 m sprint running performance","authors":"Gaku Kakehata, Hiroki Tsukamoto, Yuta Goto, Shigeo Iso, K. Kanosue","doi":"10.55860/kqyq5983","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55860/kqyq5983","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Purpose of this study was to elucidate the differences in sprint performance between two different conditions in the 60 m dash: subjects ran alone (Alone Condition: AC) or two runners competed side-by-side (Competitive Condition: CC). Methods: Subjects were twenty-six male university sprinters. They were asked to perform two 60 m dash, the AC and CC, with maximal effort from crouching start. Running spatiotemporal variables were obtained from video images taken with two digital high-speed cameras. Results: Running speed (AC: 9.34 ± 0.45 ms-1 vs CC: 9.40 ± 0.43 ms-1, p = .011) and step length (AC: 2.04 ± 0.12 m vs CC: 2.06 ± 0.10 m, p = .021) in the maximal speed section (30-60m) were significantly increased in the CC. However, there was no significant difference in step frequency (AC: 4.58 ± 0.26 Hz vs CC: 4.57 ± 0.27 Hz, p = .595). There was no significant difference in any variables in the acceleration section (0-30m). Conclusion: These results indicate that running with a competitor improves running speed with increasing step length in the maximal speed section but does not affect performance in the acceleration section. We concluded that competition improves sprint performances in the maximal speed section.","PeriodicalId":224249,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of Sport and Performance","volume":"115 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114385180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subjects performed 3 training sessions in volleyball court per week for 8 weeks. The subjects implemented 3 testing stages (before starting, mid and after 8 weeks) including Vertical Jump, Illinois, Pro-agility and T Agility Tests, Shuttle run 300-yard, Side jumps in 60 second and, finally, Hand grip. Between-group changes were assessed using repeated measure analysis. There were not significant differences between group-time interaction effect, in Vertical jump (p ˃ .05), Agility time (p ˃ .05), Power endurance (p ˃ .05) and Special aerobic endurance (p ˃ .05). This means that there were not significant differences between the groups in improving practical training factors; but Time effect was significant (p ˂ .05). In addition, Block periodization showed higher means in the strength of arm and forearm at the end of protocol.","PeriodicalId":224249,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of Sport and Performance","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116266410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are various ergogenic supplements used by athletes but excess of these supplements has been linked to major health problems.
