The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between 30-m sprint running time and muscle cross-sectional areas of the psoas major and lower limb muscles. In sixteen male college short and middle distance runners, the muscle anatomical cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the psoas major, the quadriceps femoris, the hip adductors (ADD), the hamstrings, the triceps surae, and the tibialis anterior and extensor digtrum longus complex (DF) were measured using a magnetic resonance imaging system. In addition, the relative values of CSA to the two-thirds power of body weight (CSA-to-BW2/3) were calculated. A stepwise multiple regression analysis produced a prediction equation (R2=0.605) of 30-m sprint running time with explanatory variables of ADD CSA-to-BW2/3 and DF CSA. The ADD CSA-to-BW2/3 had a negative partial regression coefficient (r=−0.768, p<0.01) and the DF CSA had a positive partial regression coefficient (r=0.526, p<0.05). From the present results, it is concluded that to have greater hip adductor muscles relative to the body size and smaller dorsiflexors is advantageous for achieving higher performance in 30-m sprint running.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of jump ability in elite adolescent male athletes for the purpose of comparing them to healthy coeval males by referring to the results reported by Endo, et al., (2007). One hundred and twenty elite male athletes (alpine skiers, fencers, soccer players, track and field sprinters and jumpers, and weight lifters) aged 18 to 24 yrs and 316 healthy males aged 19 and 20 yrs performed countermovement jumps (CMJ) and five- repeated rebound jumps (5RJ) on a mat switch system. CMJ and 5RJ abilities were evaluated by jump height and RJ-index (=jump height/ground contact time), respectively. Although the jump height in CMJ and the RJ-index in 5RJ developed from ages 6 to 18 yrs, these values reached a plateau between the ages of 18 and 20 yrs in healthy males, elite athletes further developed after age 18. When the values for the healthy males in the present study were added to the results obtained for 1137 boys by Endo, et al., (2007), the regression line and correlation coefficient between jump height in CMJ and the RJ-index in 5RJ changed only slightly. However, the values for elite adolescent athletes tended to appear in the upper right from the population ages of 6 to 20 yrs; moreover, the scattering exhibited wide variation. The results revealed that although jump ability in healthy adolescent males changed little after age 18, jump ability in elite coeval athletes were superior after age 18 and that individual differences increased according to the length of specific training in each sport.
