Objective The major purpose of this study was to determine the specific muscle (s) for
superior sprint performance in sprinters. The cross sectional areas (CSAs) of ten muscles of …

The influence of muscle morphology and strength characteristics on sprint running
performance, especially at elite level, is unclear. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate …

Purpose: To elucidate the relationship between the muscularity of individual lower-limb
muscles and 100-m-race time (t 100) in young-adult male sprinters. Methods: Thirty-one …

Introduction: One reason athletes train their trunk muscles is that the body's trunk stability
has been shown to prevent injury. However, the relationship between body trunk muscle …

The present study aimed to determine the differences in thicknesses of the lower leg and
foot muscles between sprinters and non-sprinters and to examine the relationship between …

Purpose This study aimed to compare lower body muscle volumes and vertical jumping
power between elite and subelite female sprinters and assess the relationships of these …
