Abstract

The purposes of this study are to investigate the effect of the elastic energy of the crural muscle-tendon complex on sprint performance and evaluate the function of sprint spike shoes. For these purposes, subjects performed a planter flexion jump (PFJ), a counter movement jump (CMJ), and a drop jump (DJ) using a slider seat, while wearing the spike shoes. As these results, the positive correlation was admitted between the use of the elastic energy and the increase of mechanical power in spike shoes of elasticity valuing.
