Biomechanical analysis of start and acceleration of 100 meters sprint running with selected disabilities in Indonesian Physical Impairment Athletes

Abstract

This study aims to: 1) find out whether variable start has a contribution to athletes with physical impairment in the 100-meter race, and 2) to find out the contribution of acceleration for athletes with physical impairment in the 100-meter race. A quantitative approach was used for this study in which the sprint performance of four elite Paralympic athletes was measured over time. The data source in this study focuses on the analysis of running start and acceleration of 100-meter running in athletes with physical impairment national paralympic. The data used are primary and secondary data. Quantitative data analysis includes digital video analysis of each athlete's set position, initial acceleration phase, and maximum sprint running speed phase. Based on the results of the research, the results obtained were that: 1) the athlete was able to affect the performance of the Indonesian Physical Impairment Athlete in the 100 Meter number. 2) Acceleration is able to affect the performance of the 100 Meter Run in Physical Impairment Athlete National Paralympic Committee Indonesia. The suggestion from this study is that athletes with physical impairment in the 100 m running race must be able to prepare themselves in the race process. In addition, coaches are expected to be able to prepare training programs to support athletes' achievements.
