ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find out the difference among barefoot, shod and spikes running conditions of sprinters in order to provide information about the potential effects of footwear on competitive runners. Design/methodology/approach: The twenty six (n= 26) male sprinters participated at state/ inter-collegiate level competitions of their age range 17 to 25 years were purposively selected as subjects from Haryana State, India. The acceleration ability by 30m run test, running performance by 100 Mts. race and stride frequency by high knee action for one minutes were measured in three different bare foot, shod and with shoe spikes running conditions of sprinters. To calculate the mean difference among different running conditions one way ANOVA and to calculate multiple Comparisons among different running conditions; where difference is exists Tukey HSD test were used. Findings: A statistical significant mean difference were observed for 100m sprint and acceleration run ability in all three different running conditions, whereas there exists insignificant mean difference among different running conditions i.e., bare foot, shod and shoe spikes running conditions of sprinters.  Conclusion: It is concluded that the sprinters performed better with spikes as compared to shod and barefoot running conditions in acceleration run and 100M race, hence sprinters had more stride frequencies in natural barefoot condition as compare to shod and shoe spikes running conditions.  Originality/values: The study provides a succinct introduction to the use of shoe spikes, shod and barefoot running conditions during practices and competitions and makes an innovative contribution by focusing on, how spikes helps in acceleration zone and bare foot in stride frequency.

Keynotes: Shoe spikes, barefoot, shod and sprinters.
