Abstract

This study aimed to develop a new test for evaluating pelvic list strength and to clarify whether the test would be an indicator of sprint performance. The new pelvic list strength test evaluated the vertical ground reaction force produced by maximal pelvic list using a force plate which was set underneath the supporting foot. For the experiment, 14 male sprinters performed 60-m sprint and the pelvic list strength test. The pelvic list strength test values were 6.05 ± 1.36 [N/kg] and 6.07 ± 1.02 [N/kg] for the right and left sides, respectively. Significant correlations were found between the right pelvic list strength and 60-m and 30 to 60-m sprint times (no significant correlation being found for the left side). The results demonstrate that the developed new test could be an indicator of the sprint performance especially during the later acceleration section.
