Kinetics and kinematics of sprinting in mid and post peak height velocity female athletes

Sprinting speed is a crucial physical capacity and can change throughout an athlete’s growth. Previous research has shown that both kinetic and kinematic variables change across maturation in young males. However, due to the changes in growth and hormonal levels, the kinetic and kinematic factors as...

description Sprinting speed is a crucial physical capacity and can change throughout an athlete’s growth.
