A study on the effect of hill running and stretching for development of speed among sprinters
Author(s): Aslam N Khan
Abstract:
To investigate the effects of hill running and stretching on speed development among runners. Thirty college runners were randomly selected as subjects for this study and their age was between 18-25 years, the selected subjects were divided into two groups of fifteen each. They were divided into two equal groups, namely Hill Running and Stretching training group (N=15) and Control group (N=15) did not participate in any specific training but kept on daily running practice. Data on selected variables were collected before and after the training program. The training was fixed for 6 weeks, 5 days per week. Speed was measured by running 50 meters. It was selected as the dependent variable and all the subjects were tested on the selected criterion variables before and immediately after the training period. In descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation and standard error were presented. Data Analysis Pre-test and post-test were analyzed using t-test paired sample method. This study concluded that hill running and stretching have a positive effect on speed development among runners. Based on the results of this research, the researcher recommends that to increase the speed of runners or players in any sport, hill running and stretching programs should be adopted so that their speed can be increased.
