The effect of using a body percussion training program on youth sprint running athletes
Keywords:
Speed in Sprint Running, Body Percussion, AthleticsAbstract
Context: Sprint running is an important aspect of athletic performance. Sprinters need to use a high intensity of focus and concentration to make their mechanical processes respond within milliseconds of hearing the starting shot. Sprint running as discussed in this article, is a combination of skills and planning inherent in the body’s motor response, generating and transferring enough force to propel the body to start and run for 10 meters.
Objective: The aim of this study compares the speeds in two groups of sprint runners. An experimental and a control group were used to compare sprinting speeds with pre and post test data.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental research study used a sample of 32 youth athletes from a school in Chonburi Province, aged 12-18, selected through simple random sampling. The 32 athletes were divided evenly into an experimental and a control group, with 16 participants in each group. Both groups underwent regular training. However, the experimental group received additional body percussion training twice a week for 20 minutes, over an 8-week period. A Kinematic Measurement System collected the data of sprinting times from the sample groups. Data of ages between the group members were analyzed using an
independent t-test. Sprint running times between the groups were analyzed using a dependent t-test and in between group were analyzed using an independent t-test.
Result: 1. After the experiment, the experimental group that received the body percussion training significantly improved their sprinting speed, as compared to before the experiment, at a .05 level of significance. However, the control group showed no significant difference in sprint
speed between the pre-and post-experiment stages. 2. Comparisons between the experimental and control groups post-experiment revealed no significant differences.
Conclusion: The body percussion program can reduce speed in sprint running (10 m.).
