Abstract:
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to find out the relationship between leg explosive strength (jumping performance) and maximum speed (sprinting performance) on state level male and female athletes. 15 male and 15 female state level athletes (sprinters and jumpers) were purposively selected from Haryana. The age of the subjects ranged between 16 to 22 years. ‘Leg Explosive Strength’ measured by Standing Broad Jump (S.B.J.) in centimeter and ‘Maximum Speed’ measured by 30m sprint in second. For the male athletes, leg explosive strength positively effect on maximum speed or the relationship between jumping and sprint performance of male athletes are positive and for the female athletes, leg explosive strength negatively effect on maximum speed or the relationship between jumping and sprint performance of female athletes are negative but both the value of positive and negative relationship was negligible.
