Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: To explore the sports performance of the adolescent sprinters, including analyzing the correlations between the results and central nerve sensory, and also between motor control and various muscle mechanical characteristic and sport-related fitness factor.


Description:

The sprint performance was determined by various relevant factors, and they were mainly divided into central system factor and peripheral system factor. An effective sprint start requires a quick reaction to an auditory stimulus followed by a determined sequence of activation of particular muscles responsible for maximum movement speed. Both of the skill-related physical fitness, including muscle strength, muscle endurance, muscle power, speed, agility, and balance, and muscle physical characteristic, including muscle tone and muscle architecture, are related to the sprint performance. The 100m race could divided into three different phases, start acceleration, maximum speed, and deceleration. According to Collet, 1999, the determinants of the temporal structure of the sprint start are RT, movement speed and movement frequency, which involves in perfecting sprinters' physical performance. And also, according to Pilianidis et al., 2012; Tonnessen et al., 2013, the start reaction time significantly affects the reduction of running time in 100 m races. In the recent studies, there are researches only showing that the auditory stimulus trainings significantly affected the final results for swimming athletes, and that the visual stimulus trainings significantly affected the final scores for badminton athletes.This study will mainly recruit the healthy adolescent athletes of the athletics sprint and other kinds of sports in the age range 13-18 years, and will evaluate the athletes of anthropometric measurements and physical fitness, 100m sprint performance, muscle characteristic, jump ability, agility, and nerve potential measurements.The outcome of this study will be able to be one of the comprehensive trials for coaches to take into consideration when choosing their own athletes. And also, the athletes may choose their own specialties that fit their own physical conditions. Moreover, the adolescent athletes will be trained more precisely and effectively. These will positively lead to reaching their personal best results and decreasing the occurrences of the sport injuries due to unsuitable events and trainings.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Distance of vertical jump.horizontal jump and hexagonal barbell jump squat Use data collection sensor (Vmaxpro, Germany) to measure.
vertical jump :; The subject will in an upright posture when preparing for the action. At the beginning, they will squat down until knees were bent 90 degrees, and jump as high as possible.
horizontal jump : The subject's leg should be shoulder-width apart, squat and jump forward as far as possible.
hexagonal barbell jump squat : The subject will perform five different weight jumps (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of 1RM) with a 15 kg hexagonal barbell, they will squat down until knees were bent 90 degrees, and jump as high as possible.
The data collection sensor will detect the highest and farthest distance(meters).
day 1
Primary Power of vertical jump.horizontal jump and hexagonal barbell jump squat Use data collection sensor (Vmaxpro, Germany) to measure.
vertical jump : The subject will in an upright posture when preparing for the action. At the beginning, they will squat down until knees were bent 90 degrees, and jump as high as possible.
horizontal jump : The subject's leg should be shoulder-width apart, squat and jump forward as far as possible.
hexagonal barbell jump squat : The subject will perform five different weight jumps (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of 1RM) with a 15 kg hexagonal barbell, they will squat down until knees were bent 90 degrees, and jump as high as possible.
The data collection sensor will detect the velocity and time and use the following formula to calculate the power.
P=power(W), F=force(kg*m/s^2), V=velocity(m/s),a= acceleration(m/s^2), M=body mass(kg), D= displacement(meters), T=time(seconds)
P=F*V(kg*m^2/s^3)
F=M*a(kg*m/s^2)
V=D/T(m/s)
day 1
Primary T-test To measure agility.Set a T-shape with cones. The subject starts from the starting line and starts timing. The subject sprints forward 10 meters to touches the cone A, and then sprints runs to the right for 5 meters to touches the cone B, then move 10 meters to the left and touches the cone C. Finally, move to the right to touches the cone A, then run back across the finish line. Stopped timing when subject passed the finish line. Redcord the best result (seconds). day 1
Primary Hexagonal Obstacle Test To measure agility. Stick a hexagon with a side length of 66 cm on the ground with black tape. The subject's starting position is in the middle of the hexagon. After starting the timing, jump out of each side in order, and then return to the starting position. Stopped timing when after the subject returns to the starting position. Redcord the best result (seconds). day 1
