Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to reveal the relationship between the 50-m sprint time and toe-grip strength. [Subjects] The subjects were 101 healthy male students. [Methods] Toe-grip strength of one foot was measured by a toe-grip strength meter three times in a chair-sitting posture. 50-m sprint time was measured twice in bare foot and shoes. [Results] Sprint velocity was faster barefoot than in shoes. Under both conditions, a positive correlation with the toe-grip strength was found, but there was no difference in the correlation coefficient. [Conclusion] Toe-grip strength is important for sprint velocity, suggesting it is one of the basic physical fitness. <br>
