Abstract

The purpose of the presented study is to determine the specific kinematical changes related to hurdle clearance and comparing it with the specific kinematical variables in each phase in the national champion with elite athletes. One elite female 100 meter hurdler L A (PB 13.64 sec) was recorded in a training session using (2) video cameras 50 f/s to collect kinematic data of the 4th and 5th hurdles respectively, many of the differences in hurdle clearance technique between elite hurdle and sub-elite female hurdlers analyzed in the present study are fairly small as indicated by the present data such as horizontal distance between CG and foot at the moment of takeoff, takeoff and landing distance,. However, hurdle clearance velocity is a key role differentiating the race performance among elite female hurdlers this can ensure the importance of achieving high horizontal velocity between the hurdles and maintaining it during the hurdle clearance
