Kinematic Characteristics of 60M Hurdle Running in Youth Athlets

The purpose of this research is to determine the main kinematic parameters of 60 meters hurdler running in both male and female youth athletes. Also, the aim was to define differences between genders. Therefore, 5 male and 10 female athletes aged 11-12 years were measured. According to statistical method ANOVA, there is a statistically significant difference between male and female young athletes with p level 0.05. It is shown that male athletes have greater values in time variables of 60 meter running, running on the first, third, fourth and fifth hurdle. Also, in the kinematic variables before the hurdle, above the hurdle and behind the hurdle, there are statistically significant differences in values of horizontal velocity (VH), swing leg angle, body lean above the hurdle, and the angle of the swing leg in the hip and angle of the swing leg in the knee behind the hurdle. Based on the obtained results male athletes have achieved better running times in 60 meters hurdle running, which is logical considering that in this age they are more powerful than girls. To assess kinematic parameters, we have used the following equipment: six sets of photo cells, Opto jump, electronic starting block and movement structure analysis software by Kinovea.
