The correlation of force-velocity-power relationship of a whole-body movement with 20 m and 60 m sprint performance

Sprinting ability is important for successful performance in sports. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between force-velocity-power relationship a whole-body movement and sprint performance. Twelve male participants performed maximal squat jumps with additional loads ranging from 0% 100% body weight obtain force-velocity profiles. mean force velocity were calculated during push-off phase each jump, which resulted curve. theoretical (F0), (V0) maximum power (P0) computed via extrapolation data. In second session, two 60 m sprints time cover 20 (t20), (t60), (Vmax) best trial. Correlation analyses revealed strong significant correlations V0 t20 (r = −0.60), t60 P0 −0.75) −0.78). Multiple linear regression indicated that explained 56%, 61% 60% variability t20, Vmax, respectively. Our results emphasise importance developing production capabilities improve
