Abstract

The significance of this research lies in the ongoing focus on athletic achievements and the continuous effort to enhance them, as well as in the importance of motion analysis in identifying the main points of weakness among under-20 sprinters in the 200-meter race. The cognitive problem of the study centers around the question of whether it is possible to identify the key numerical values related to the straight segment of the 200-meter sprint, and whether it is feasible to calculate one physical ability (performance endurance at maximum speed) and another mechanical ability (stride length and stride frequency). It also addresses the lack of application of motion analysis in accurately identifying weaknesses, in addition to the insufficient attention given by coaches to these numerical values when designing their training programs to achieve their goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. The research aimed to design specific training drills for the straight sprint segment and to examine their effect on performance endurance at maximum speed, stride length, and stride frequency in the 200-meter event for sprinters under the age of 20. The researchers employed the experimental method with two equivalent groups, as it was suitable for the nature of the study's problem. The research population was selected from 200-meter sprinters under the age of 20, totalling 12 athletes representing their clubs in the finals of the Third Round of the 2024 National Clubs Championship. The performance test was conducted at the Al-Najaf International Athletics Stadium. A total of five motion analysis cameras (CASIO FH13.5), operating at a speed of 120 frames per second, were used, and the data were analyzed using the Kenova software. Following the analysis and discussion of the results, the researchers concluded that there were statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests of both groups, as well as statistically significant differences between the post-tests of the two groups, in favour of the experimental group. In light of these findings, the researchers recommend adopting the proposed straight-line sprint training drills for the 200-meter race and conducting more extensive studies on this athletic event.
