Difference between selected movement parameters in Straight and Curve path among national level players in Bangladesh

Abstract

Sprint is a most popular event in track and field event in athletics. In straight and curve path sprinting speed are not similar but it is different in several zone in athletic track. From the research it would be possible to compare the different zones of 100m running in respect of straight and curve running. A total sixteen (16) male and eight (8) female athletes were selected to participate as a subject for the present study. At first the total length of 100m straight and 100m curve was divided into five parts and three zones. Five trained time keepers were posted with digital stop watch for recording time. The raw data were analyzed following standard statistical technique. The difference in movement parameters between straight and curve running are found not to be significant. The significant of present study is find differentiation not relation with straight and curved paths movement parameters.
