A Quantitative Study on the Influence of Ankle Rigidity on Sprint Performance
This experimental comparative study delves into the examination of ankle rigidity and its effect on the transmission of lower limb force among short-distance sprinters.The study scrutinizes the influence of ankle rigidity on various aspects,including 100-meter sprint performance,standing long jump,stationary rapid squat jump,average ground contact time for the initial 5 steps of the start,average forward trunk lean angle for the first 5 steps of the start,and average landing support tibial angle changes.The findings suggest that reinforcing ankle rigidity diminishes power loss,resulting in a reduction of ground contact time—an essential factor in enhancing the transmission of lower limb force for short-distance sprinters.
