Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to examine the acceleration and speed performances of sedentary women according to their different foot sole length. 60 women that recide in Gaziantep and live sedentary life has participated voluntarily. The subjects were divided into 4 groups in terms of foot sole length and metatarsus width. The average age of the subjects that are participated in the study is determined as 15.8±0.76 for the 1st group, 16.1±1.13 for the 2nd group, 15.9±1.12 for the 3rd group and 15.7±1.33 for the 4th group. Foot sole, metatarsus measurements, acceleration and speed performance values of the subjects were taken in accordance with the measurement technique. All data that is obtained in the study were compared with each other and analyzed in terms of groups while using the SPSS 20.0 software package. When we evaluate the results of the analysis; it can be seen that there are significant differences that is detected between the 1st, 3rd and 4th groups in terms of acceleration performance in terms of foot sole length and metatarsus width; however, no significant difference was found between the 2nd group and the other groups. Although small differences were detected between the groups when it comes to sprint performance, these differences were not statistically significant. As a result, it was observed that there were differences between the groups in terms of acceleration performance, but there was no significant difference in terms of speed performance.
Highlights
There are many studies on athletes, it is aimed to maximize the development by adding new information and findings to the information that is currently available in order to do more and continue the progress and maintain the importance of the need for new research.Acceleration is the rate of change in speed that allows the athlete to reach the maximum speed in the least amount of time (Gambetta, 1996)

Summary
There are many studies on athletes, it is aimed to maximize the development by adding new information and findings to the information that is currently available in order to do more and continue the progress and maintain the importance of the need for new research.Acceleration is the rate of change in speed that allows the athlete to reach the maximum speed in the least amount of time (Gambetta, 1996). During to reach maximum speed, conditioning and strength program’s level are important and they improve the two basic elements of velocity. To reach the maximum speed, conditioning and strength programs are on important level and they improve the two basic elements of speed. Speed refers to the rate of movement within a predetermined range (Murphy et al, 2003) It is performed by increasing the physical, metabolic and neurological elements that is associated with sprinting in order to bring acceleration and speed to a good level (Facciono, 1993). The ability to reach maximum running speed in a short time is an important key to success in sports branches like football, athletics, rugby and American football (Bangsbo et al, 1991)
