The analysis of 100 m hurdles competitive activity

The purpose of this research was investigation of 100 m hurdles running event. The main aim was to analyze dynamics of running speed in the 100 m hurdles event. The research was carried out on 13 variables overall ; 10 time parameters' variables which included split times at each hurdle and athletes' final running time, athletes' latent reaction time and their age. The basic descriptive statistics and descriptive analysis of individual changes were obtained. In this study, the different examples of competitive activity structure, which differs depending on results' achievements, are shown. The more the results' achievements are closer by its final running results ; the dynamics of track running is more similar. Displayed examples may clearly indicate running details, regarding the successful realization of movements' structure patterns, which make for the better placement in athletes' running times. The obtained results indicate that the most successful, that is, the fastest athlete, was the one who incrementally increased running speed until fourth or fifth hurdle and successfully maintained that speed for as long as possible. For all athletes, the deceleration phase was after eight hurdle. Latent reaction time as well as running time at first and second hurdle are integral to start acceleration and are important for establishing good running rhythm.
