Abstract
Studying certain kinematic and physical variables at the moment of the start and the subsequent phases of the 100m sprint for the age group 14–15 years, and utilizing a modern training tool — such as resistance bands — in a training program tailored to the athletes’ capabilities and potentials, is a crucial aspect of this study. The research aims to observe the impact of using resistance training that suits the age group represented by elastic resistance bands, based on the results of the physical tests used in the study. The study also relies on key kinematic variables related to the push-off phase, including push-off time of the front leg and push-off time of the rear leg, which were extracted using Kinovea motion analysis software. These variables are connected to later stages of the race, such as acceleration and maximum speed. The researcher noted the limited use of such modern training tools in training programs for this age group, despite the fact that they are among the effective tools used in general training methodologies. Therefore, the researcher incorporated resistance bands in specific exercises as part of the training program applied to the study sample. The results of the study showed significant improvements in the physical and kinematic variables between the pre- and post-tests. The main conclusions were: The use of resistance bands had a significant impact on improving physical capabilities and specific kinematic variables in the 100m sprint, as evidenced by the obtained results. The observed improvement in physical capabilities had a positive effect on the development of kinematic variables, leading to changes in performance level, timing, and overall achievement. Key Recommendations: Resistance bands should be integrated into training programs aimed at developing physical capabilities and kinematic variables for such events across various age groups. Coaches working with youth athletes must base their physical training on kinematic requirements, using tools like resistance bands to achieve targeted outcomes with minimal physical strain, following scientifically grounded methods. Proper application of motion analysis principles should be encouraged to enhance technical performance.
