“…With aging the ability to run fast declines progressively (Hamilton, 1993;Korhonen et al, 2003Korhonen et al, , 2009Roberts et al, 1997). Although the previous studies have described nature of the age-related decline in maximum running speed, no authors have addressed the effect of aging on the parameter variability and symmetry.…”

Eighteen young (23 ± 4 yr) and 25 older (70 ± 4 yr) male sprinters were examined for ground reaction force (GRF) and temporal-spatial variables. The data were collected during maximum-speed phase, and variability and symmetry indices were calculated from a total of 8 steps. There was little variation (CV < 6%) in vertical and resultant GRF and kinematic variables, while impact loading had high variability (CV: 10–21%). Overall, the pattern of variability was similar in both groups. Yet, a small but significant age-related increase in CV was evident in horizontal GRFs. There was a variable-specific asymmetry between legs but it was not related to leg dominance. No age differences existed in the symmetry indices. Results indicate that only selected force platform variables are symmetric and repeatable enough so that their use for comparison purposes is appropriate. Data also suggest that aging may increase variability in certain biomechanical measures, whereas symmetry is not affected by age.

Elite sprint performances typically peak during an athlete’s 20s and decline thereafter with age. The mechanisms underpinning this sprint performance decline are often reported to be strength-based in nature with reductions in strength capacities driving increases in ground contact time and decreases in stride lengths and frequency. However, an as-of-yet underexplored aspect of Masters sprint performance is that of age-related degradation in neuromuscular infrastructure, which manifests as a decline in both strength and movement coordination. Here, the authors explore reductions in sprint performance in Masters athletes in a holistic fashion, blending discussion of strength and power changes with neuromuscular alterations along with mechanical and technical age-related alterations. In doing so, the authors provide recommendations to Masters sprinters—and the aging population, in general—as to how best to support sprint ability and general function with age, identifying nutritional interventions that support performance and function and suggesting useful programming strategies and injury-reduction techniques.

DESPITE STRONG THEORETICAL EVIDENCE, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING METHODS ON SPRINTING PERFORMANCE IS NOT ALWAYS DEMONSTRATED EXPERIMENTALLY. ACCELERATIVE SPRINTING IS LIMITED BY THE REQUIREMENT OF A FORWARD-DIRECTED GROUND REACTION FORCE DURING PROGRESSIVELY SHORTER STANCE PHASES THAT ACCOMPANY HIGHER SPRINTING SPEEDS, WHEREAS MAXIMAL SPEED SPRINTING IS LIMITED BY THE APPLICATION OF SUFFICIENT VERTICAL IMPULSE DURING STANCE, CONSTRAINING MINIMAL STANCE DURATIONS. CONSIDERING THE MECHANICAL LIMITATIONS AND THE BIOMECHANICAL SOLUTIONS USED BY THE FASTEST SPRINTERS FROM A CONSTRAINTS-LED PERSPECTIVE PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FROM WHICH PRACTITIONERS CAN EXPLORE THE INCORPORATION OF RESISTANCE AND SPRINT TRAINING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-TERM TRAINING PROGRAMS.
