Abstract
The objective of the research was to test the efficiency of standing, loye and crouch start for 15m sprints in the fifth grade female pupils. Although crouch start is the part of the curriculum of physical education for that age, there is a strong belief that girls at that age from the motor and technical point are not prepared for its performance. The results of the research show that the high setting gave the fastest start for the 15m sprint, followed the results from the loye start and the poorest results were achieved from the crouch start. However, since on the command ’get set’ keeping balance is difficult to maintain during the standing start, for mass practice at school for this age group the loye start is more appropriate although the results might be poorer.
