Abstract

Sprinting involves moving swiftly over distances of 60 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters. Speed in sprinting relies on the coordinated effort of the body’s motion system and muscles, which are limited by a maximum speed threshold. Achieving optimal speed in sprinting requires a combination of muscle strength, agility, and speed, particularly in the lower limbs. Key factors for success include the effectiveness of the starting technique, the sprinting motion, and the technique employed through the finish line, all of which heavily rely on muscle strength, the size of leg muscles, and leg length. This study utilized an observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design, employing chi-square statistical testing at a 95% confidence level (P < 0.05). The sample size consisted of 35 running athletes from Semarang, observed during October to November 2017. Analysis of the data revealed significant correlations: calf circumference with running speed for 100 meters (p = 0.000), thigh circumference with running speed for 100 meters (p = 0.001), and leg length with running speed for 100 meters (p = 0.000). These findings demonstrate a clear relationship between calf circumference, thigh circumference, leg length, and running speed over 100 meters.
