Objective This study examined the relationship between leg bone length and sprint
performance in sprinters. The leg bone lengths in 28 100-m specialized sprinters and 28 …

The present study aimed to determine the relationship between leg bone length and running
performance in well-trained endurance runners. The lengths of the leg bones in 42 male …

Objective The main purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between
the forefoot bone length and long sprint performance in well-trained 400-m specialized …

This study examined the relationships between the foot bone morphologies and sprint
performance in sprinters. Foot images in 56 male sprinters obtained using magnetic …

Although recent studies have reported that the forefoot bones are longer in sprinters than in
non‐sprinters, these reports included a relatively small number of subjects. Moreover, while …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sprint performance is related to lower
leg musculoskeletal geometry within a homogeneous group of highly trained 100-m …

Mechanical loading is thought to be a determinant of bone mass and geometry. Both ground
reaction forces and tibial strains increase with running speed. This study investigates the …

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 …

Recently, we reported that the forefoot bones were longer in sprinters than in non-sprinters,
and that longer forefoot bones correlated with higher sprint performance in sprinters. To …

2009. Purpose: Our primary aim was to explore differences in estimates of tibial bone
strength, in female runners with and without a history of stress fractures. Our secondary aim …
