Talent Detection in 100 meter sprinting
• The age of detection in sprinting is usually around 11 – 13
years of age.
• The below given are few tests according to Sports
Authority of India which can act as markers:
1. One-foot balance test (eyes open and eyes closed) (to test
balance and motor skill level)
2. 20m start ( to test acceleration)
3. Standing long jump ( to test lower body power)
4. vertical jump 40m obstacle run (to test speed and motor skill
level)
5. 5-step bounding (to estimate reactive strength)
6. chest-pass (Girls 1 Kg, Boys 2Kg)(to test upper body power)
7. cricket ball overhead throw( to test shoulder, elbow flexion and
power)
8. 1.6km endurance run( to test anaerobic and aerobic capabilities.)
• Generic anthropometrical tests are • A few medical tests shall be conducted in order
used to find out current body to detection any pre existing medical conditions:
composition : 1. Hemoglobin Packed Cell Volume %
1. Height
2. Weight 2. RBC Count d MCV
3. Body Mass Index 3. MCH
4. Arm Span 4. MCHC
5. Waist Hip ratio *score<1
6. Sitting Height 5. Red Cell Distribution Width %
6. Total Leukocyte count (TLC)
7. differential leukocyte count
8. absolute leukocyte count
9. urea
Talent identification in sprinting
• As the recruited kids from the age group
given in the previous slide as trained in
variety of sports specific and general skills,
they are narrowed down to identify kids
that can further trained in sprinting.
• The age of talent identification is 15-16
years of age.

A 50m fly test and upper body strength and

power detection test such cricket ball throw
can be useful in assessing the talent.
Talent confirmation in 100m sprinting
by the age of 17 to 18 the athletes
would have been trained for the
event specifically. after that they are
confirmed in the sport and given
much more specific and sport specific
and scientific training.

now timings would be taken for 100m

sprints to see improvement
Talent orientation in 100 m sprint

confirmed into the sport and they
continue their sporting career forward.
they are given drills and training
routine very event specifically. from
here the room for improvement is
comparatively less but the athlete can
maintain consistent high levels of
performance.
