Abstract
The goal of this study was the investigation of the relationship between 200 m performance and motor abilities and
anthropometric characteristics of different level of male sprinters (200 m performance 23.80±2.16 s – the best results 21.40
s). The physical fi tness measures included: 50 m from standing and fl ying start, standing long jump (SLJ) standing fi ve
jump (SFJ), double and single leg countermovement jumps CMJ), fl exibility (sit and reach) and 4 kg shot put throwing
(over head). The Spearman correlation coeffi cient was applied to verify the association. The results demonstrated strong
relationships (p < 0.05) between 200 m performance and experience (age) and body mass (r=0.85, r=–0.80 respectively.)
As for the motor abilities strong relationship exists between 200 m and time of 150 m, 50 m from standing and fl ying start
and CMJ on single leg. Vertical jumping displayed stronger relationship with 200 m performance that horizontal one.
From a practical point of view this is very important notice.
