Calcaneus height is a key morphological factor of sprint performance in sprinters.


ABSTRACT: This study examined the relationships between the foot bone morphologies and sprint performance in sprinters. Foot images in 56 male sprinters obtained using magnetic resonance imaging. The relative lengths of the forefoot bones of the big and second toes, which were calculated as total lengths of the forefoot bones for each toe normalized to the foot length, correlated significantly with personal best 100-m sprint time (r?=??-?0.293 and?-?0.459, both Ps?
