Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are two drills which are the basic exercise for developing proper sprint technique. These drills are termed the A drill and B drill. They are also known as the “Mach sprint technical Drills”. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics of the running A drill and B drill to sprinting. This comparison was accomplished by a kinematic analysis of variables associated with sprint technic. We analyzed sprint technic while paying attention to high knee for swing phase and kick phase in particular. The subject is elite athlete in England that training the Mach Drills everyday. For the reason, Elite athletes may demonstrate better technique with more similarities to sprinting.
